    Oops, I guess I stand corrected. Of course, I've always believed
that if something dosen't work for certain isolated cases, it simply 
dosent work, however, I suppose that if it means we *CAN* have C++ on
an ST, this is something we could learn to live with. (Provided, of
course, that you don't mind not being able to count on a given (correct)
program compiling.)  Where do I order my Cfront?
