Has anyone out there ported the C++ translator to the Silicon Graphics
IRIS?  I am in a strange situation where I have C++ running on a VAX under
ULTRIX (4.2 BSD) and the IRIS is SysV.  So far, no joy.  The ..c files
were created ok, and compiled with no errors on the IRIS, but the
resulting translator chokes when you try to run code through it.  The
port was done using the information posted by Jon Leech (the Sun
port), plus a problem with the declaration of sprintf.  Actually, the
version I am porting is release 1.0, since I am also having problems
with the sprintf declaration on the ULTRIX side.  Jon, I would like to
get a copy of the rel. 1.0 porting summary you mentioned several
months ago.  So why am I using 1.0?  I have a lot more experience with
that release and it is dead solid on my ULTRIX machine (I went through
a complete cycle of bootstrap -> translator -> bootstrap source ->
bootstrap -> translator).  I figure it will be easier to get rel 1.1
and above onto the IRIS if I can use the straight SysV sources.
Thanks,
