Hello,

I have been trying to get the NIHCL class libraries compiled on
a Decstation 5000/200 using GNU's g++.  I have successfully compiled
the g++ compiler and know that it works (I used it to compile 
InterViews 2.6).  I have been told that the NIHCL library can and
cannot be compiled by different people. I have retrieved the NIHCL
version and patches from the GNU distribution at MIT.  I have tried
desperately to compile this patched version but have had very limited
success.  Can someone please tell me if the NIHCL can be compiled
with g++ and if so what versions, pathches or tricks need to be used
to do this.

Thankyou very much in advance for any information that you may send me.
