Perhaps interested parties may like to start a thread on what this compiler does and does not do, rather than accept my second hand information. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Oregon Software VMS compiler producing object code, switch slectable between C++, ANSI C and K&R C. Prices for VMS in range 3 to 5 thousand dollars US. No one said that they love/hate this compiler. In fact there seemed to be little general use of C++ on VMS, if anything most people saying that they were going to use it... Didn't state if it supports 2.0 Oregon Software, Inc. 6915 S.W.

Amazing what one can find out with technology these days. He is running g++, no complaints but "it falls over on some multiple inheritance, in the same places as other compilers do". Isn't running gdb or any debugger at all due to some decompression/mangling problems when getting the source. But he seems happy so far. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- AT&T ? Does cfront compile under VMS? No-one said anything about this. ============================================================================= Well that's the end of the survey. I'm off on holiday, so no correspondence will be forthcoming from me on these topics, at least for a while. Thanks again to respondents. mark.
