We are trying to decide which C++ compiler to purchase.  Our hardware
platform is a Sun3/60 running SunOS 4.1 with X windows.  The things we
are most concerned with are:

	1) Does the product include a debugger (that doesn't use mangled
	   names)?

	2) Is there adequate technical support?

	3) Does the product fit in well with SunOS/X windows environment?

	4) How portable is the product?

We are currently considering Sun C++, OASYS(Greenhills?) C++, ParcPlace C++
and Oregon C++.  If anyone has used any of these products we would appreciate
any comments or recommendations.
