Well, at the moment, the only other thing to go with is MPW (are you
indedpendantly wealthy?).  MPW C++ is a port of At&T's CFront, which
means that it is (was... C++ has been upgraded.  Anyone know when we
will see a version of 2.1?) "standard" C++.

Think C on the other hand, is a very nice implimentation of C, and has
a really nice debugger.  It has a few features of C++, but leaves out
most of the really nice ones.  You can play with objects, to a point.
It is not C++ though.  It looks as if someone added to C the extensions
to pascal that Object Pascal does.

+C
