friend, you're working too hard.

the problem with the NeXT cc++ is well documented.  just call NeXT or send email.
i have been using cc++ for two months.  In fact I recently posted a game on the
purdue archives that use c++ objects as a back end.  it doesn't, however, use
cc++ for the link phase.

to fix the collect problem place the following line in your .cshrc file:
limit stacksize 10000.

that is all you need to do.
