1. A friend of mine has SunOS 4.1.1 with Sun's C++ 2.0, with the 4.1 patch
   installed (the patch came with SunOS 4.1 release tapes).
2. Since SunOS 4.1.1 Release Manual does not mention C++, I assume that
   the patch is still in effect.
3. The C++ environment includes the dbx (dbx++?) debugger.
4. Trying to use it on a C++ program results in:
      dbx: fatal error: I/O error
   (or something to that effect).
   Dbx does not show any version number, but running 'strings' on it yields:
     ... 2.0FCS/4.0 (9/29/89 11:23)...
5. My questions are:
   a. Is statement #2 above correct ?
   b. Is there a patch for dbx++ ?
   c. What's the best C++ out there? I know of Sun's, AT&T's, GNU's and Saber's.
