	Yeah, I know.  The IBM PC product Turbo C++ is *wonderful*
(relatively speaking of course; it's as good as you can get on an IBM ;-),
and it would be great if someone could do the same on the Macintosh.

	The logical choice would be Think C++, but they're not interested,
apparently.

	And yeah, I'm using MPW C++.  It seems to add a whole new meaning
to the idea of going on a coffee break during compiles.  (Read:  I tend
to fix dinner while waiting for a medium size compile...  *sigh*)
