I have ported c++ to the macintosh and am looking for a few volunteers
to beta-test the port.

After the beta-test cycle, I will be distributing binaries and sources
to anyone with a c++ source license.

This c++ works only under apple's MPW (macintosh programmer's
workshop) system.

To run c++, you need to already have the MPW system and MPW C compiler.

If you are interested (and willing to really USE the compiler to find
any bugs) let me know.  It is important that you will be testing not
only standard c++ programs, but the macintosh toolbox calls as well.  I
really am looking for people who will be writing macintosh applications.

(A few notes about the port which are peculiar to the macintosh:

	pascal strings are supported (e.g., "\phello, world!" prepends a length
					byte)
	rom calls produce inline traps
		(syntax for a rom call declaration is 
			e.g., pascal void SysBeep() = 0xabcd;)
	
	Normal macintosh applications can be written, since full toolbox
	support is there--as well, all standard c++ stuff is supported,
	streams, etc. (except tasking).
)
