I am currently interested in getting a c++ compiler/translator for my
MacIIci. I am considering getting AUX so I was wondering about g++, but
I am not quite sure whether it has been successfully ported to AUX -
any information would be gratefully appreciated.

The other alternative is MPW c++, can someone answer the following
questions :-

1. Which version of MPW c++ is shipping, and which version of the
   AT&T "standard" does it claim ?

2. I had heard reports of previous version of MPW c++ that the
   memory management was not totally stable/efficient - what is the
   status of the current version and are there any other 
   bugs/limitations ?

3. Is it AUX 2.0 compatible and what level of integration does it
   offer - can you use anything direct from a AUX command line ?
   Would it be possible to use MPW c++ to generate c code for the
   native AUX c compiler ?

Many thanks,

John Pearce
