Well, I hate to post about this again, but I just found out that
the present version of Zortech C++ (2.1) is not what I thought.

I am looking for a C++ compiler (for the 80386) which _will_ compile
code greater than 640k, without resorting to overlays.  It also _MUST_
support virtual memory, the more the better.  Apparently Zortech 2.1
does not do this.  Does anyone know if v3.0 will?  I would be very greatful
for any information you could post to the net, or send to me.

---In the same vein, DJGpp, a public domain port of GNU C++ to 80386, does
meet the above reuirements, it unfortunately has the usual "copyleft"
requirements that go with Freedom Software Foundation, etc.  Also the
documentation is more than a bit sparse (I am told the FSF docs, which
I don't have yet are quite good)  All this is available on
grape.ecs.clarkson.edu  under a directory "djgcc"  (somewhere, I don't
remember the path...)

Thanks,
Matthew Eldridge
