No word yet on release date, or upgrade policies. I don't need a C++ compiler *right* *now*, so I'm going to wait. disclaimer: I just read about it, so that's all I know. Gee, this sounds an awful lot like the FSF g++ compiler. Hopefully the SAS one will be based on C++ 2.0. Considering that an initial port of gcc has been announced on the net, is anyone working on using that to port g++? Once gcc is working on the Amiga, it should not be too hard to port g++, since it is just patches to gcc. However, I don't know how it works, but the extra runtime linking for C++ could present some problems. Just wondering. -- Alan Bair SSDT (formerly SPS CAD) Motorola, Inc.
