Greetings.  I am looking into the existence of C++ implementations for the
Alliant FX/8 series.  I suspect what this would boil down to would be gcc+ or
AT&T cfront.  I am made to understand that gcc doesn't exist for the Alliant
(concurrent vectorized 68020's with multiple plain 68020's) yet, and that to
make it available would require doing some deep delving to bring it up. Is this
the true situtation?  Given that it is, I'd appreciate any ftp sites harboring
information on AT&T's cfront, or other promising alternatives.

Note that I am not conversant with c++ at all at this point - we are looking
at a few XWindow packages, and many seem to require c++ (the one in particular
that sparked our interest cited cfront 1.2), and we'd like to be able to move
in that direction.

Thank you for any assistance you may provide.
