Summary: Who knows of a C++ for MSDOS?

In <1010@rpics.RPI.EDU> (in comp.sys.ibm.pc)
	wet@lcuxlm.UUCP quotes pegasus@hansen (Tony Hansen) as saying
>I've been using Microsoft C with a fair amount of success. It implements a
>lot of the System V library routines. Also, Guidelines C++ will work with it.

Ooops! What do I see here dangling before my eyes?!

I'm a fan of C++ ever since I read the book by the unpronouncable author (:->).
Until now, the only way to get it onto an IBM PC seemed to be to buy the stuff
from AT&T and port it myself. They are asking $2K (I'm not a university, just
an interested user), which is FAR too much to consider for a private purchase.

SOOOO: Does anybody on the net know of C++ implementations that I can run
on my lowly XT clone under MS-DOS?! What is "Guidelines C++", and is it
reasonable (in both price and performance)? Any help is appreciated.

P.S. (for ...ibm.pc readers):
      If you don't know of C++, repent and get to know it. If you like C,
      you'll LOVE C++. If you think C is not so hot, you may find C++ to
      be some relief.
