That is not being fair.  There is no doubt that we haven't see the Lattice
C++ yet, and there is no doubt that it is *not* based on cfront as we
are.  But that only leads to the conclusion that it won't be among the
so-called standard compilers.  But in say the MS-DOS world, Zortech and
Borland are not standard in that sense either.  But that does not imply
they are not good compilers (disregarding that any spanking new compiler
is going to have a good number of bugs).
