I've just installed the Oregon C++ compiler on a VaxStation 3100
running VMS 5-3.1 and am trying to get it to work with MOTIF 1.1
(DEC MOTIF Developer's Kit).  I'm getting all kinds of compile errors
which are apparently a consequence of conflicts with with C language
constants in certain VMS header files (like "new" and "class") and with
what is apparently a VMS-specific datatype:  "externalref".

Has anybody tried to use the Oregon C++ compiler using MOTIF on VMS?
If so, have you encountered this problem and figured out a solution?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
