	Why do you anticipate problems with getting C++ up on a non-VAX
computer.  You can now buy it on a PC! from Lifeboat.  Oasys sells it
for a number of machines, which I believe includes Sun and Apollos.  I
heard that the initial version was hard to part,  but it is my understanding
from talking to Bjarne Strourstup and Stan Lipman of AT&T that the
new version that is now being released (1.2?) is easier to port.
I hope so, because I intend to port it to our Convergent Technologies
MightyFrame (a 68020 based V.2 + berkley extensions machine).  If any
of you feel that I may be heading into trouble, please post or email me.
