Keywords: Atari C-source C++ identifiers Megamax object-oriented
Summary: Megamax uses 10 chars of any length identifier
Xref: mnetor net.lang.c++:365 net.micro.atari16:2449

Regarding the need for a C compiler that would handle long
identifiers, y'all might not know that Megamax recognizes
the first 10 chars, and allows very long total length.
That may still not be enough for C++ - I dunno.
(and you still need to get that C++ preprocessor...)

BTW: I devised a method to do object-oriented programming in C.
Not fancy but simple, and you get inheritance and even late binding
of sorts with high efficiency (about 100 microSecs for a typical
invocation of a method).  If anybody is interested let me know.
