     We evaluated ObjectWorks and a few other compilers:

	o I found the ParcPlace salemen emphasizing the pretty browsing
	  capabilities of ObjectWorks, whereas there debugging capabilities
	  are far behind Saber C++ or HP Softbench;

	o at the time, ObjectWorks ran only under SunViews.  It now runs
	  under the various X flavors (Motif, Sun XView, vanilla X);

	o Saber delivers both a compiler and an interpreter;

	o Saber C++ has dynamic linking (invaluable for large applications
	  under development).

     We chose Saber C++.
