I am not sure who currently has such products, but I talk to Jim Goodenow
of Manx at a recent Amiga developers conference and he said 
that they had recently purchased a C++ licence from AT&T.  

For those who may not know, Manx has a high quality C compiler
running on most popular PCs, Aztec C86 on MeS-DOS and other environments
on 80x86 PC's, Aztec C68K for the AMIGA and other 68k workstations + the
Apple MAC PC, also  for 65xx based machines.  

I would imagine that if they get serious about C++ that once they get
it up on one environment they would port it to all the rest.  I think that
the first target machine the the Amiga because it is what Jim said its what he
does all of his development on, I would imagine others would follow soon.
If I hear more or ,since I am an Amiga Aztec C beta tester, If I recieve
a beta of a C++ compiler I will post a note.
