I am trying to evaluate the availability of C++ compilers on 
various workstations.  Given that a C++ compiler does not 
exist for a particular workstation, can anyone give me any
information on how successful I might be in generating C code
on a Sparc (using cfront) and compiling the result on the
native machine?  This would be a moderately significant 
application (5,000-10,000 lines of code).  Are there any "gotchas"
that cfront generates in certain circumstances, that I may need
to watch for?

Please mail your responses, I'll post a summary.

Thanks.
Greg
