Yes, there's MPW C++. It has a few extensions -- basic objects that support
pascal objects, are optimized for single-inheritance, etc. Zortech C++ (also
for MPW) has the same extensions, since they're needed for MacApp.

Think C (a.k.a. Think C+-) is a port of Object Pascal to C. As such, it's
puzzling as to why it doesn't support MacApp. However, it doesn't. Also, its
syntax is not quite the same (the New operator is a function, 'virtual' not
required, etc.)
