Glockenspiel C++ is available for VMS. We got their release
2.0b about 6 month ago, and run it on a VAX 8800 with VMS 5.3.
It has been used so far to teach C++ to advanced undergraduate students.

Early on, we detected a bug in the stream i/o library,
which rendered stream i/o to files useless.
Ever since we have been contacting Glockenspiel
to have the problem fixed, but to no avail. Since then, we
found another error in its use and invocation of the preprocessor.

If you decide to go with Glockenspiel, ask them
carefully about customer support.
