Neglecting Mac-specific features (for building interfaces, etc), is
Think C a clean subset of C++?  That is, if I'm careful, can I write
O-O code in Think C and port it to, say, g++ on a Unix box and have it
run successfully?  Does it make sense to try?

I'm a C++ novice (I'm slowly working through Lippman right now) so
short, sweet answers are preferred, if possible.

My motivation for all this?  I like what I hear about Think C and I
want to learn (and then do some real programming in) C++.  I can't
afford MPW C++.

What I REALLY need is Think C++ 1.0 or Turbo C++/Mac :-) :-) :-)

Thanks in advance for any help...please email, I'll summarize.
