Hi,
1. libg++
Thanks for Mark Alder 's step by step procedure to install
libg++1.39. I can use <stream.h> header now ;)
It didn't ruin my fun, instead it make me have more fun to
run my previous g++ homeworks under NeXT.
   
2. SoftPC, good and bad

Since my floppy drive works, I set up SoftPC and have some test run.
Good points,
     I can use "telix" communation package to dial out to my school
     account like I did with kermit&Stuart. Upload,Download text or
     binary files works fine.It really impressed me.
     I can run some public domain prolog interpreter with nice speed.

BAD points,
     When I tried to reenter telix program, SoftPC crashed and rebooted
     NeXT without my permission ;]. This situation happen all the time.
     Save your works before you try it.
     I test "tetris" and "block", tetris has a "divide by zero error"
     error message. "block" is simply too slow to play.
