We are about to acquire a C++ compiler and were planning to
get the source from AT&T. However, before we make a BIG mistake I
want to find out how much trouble we will have getting the System
V version of the compiler (which AT&T claims will not work on a
bsd system) to run on our Ultrix 1.2 system.

We have limited resources to expend on porting the compiler, so
as long as the port is limited to changing a few libraries we are
willing to do it. Otherwise we would probably be better off going
to a third party selling ported compilers.

Hence, my questions:

1.  Is anyone running C++ under Ultrix? If so, where did you get
    your compiler? Are you satisfied with it?

2.	Has anyone ported the AT&T source to an Ultrix (or other bsd)
	system? How difficult was this to do?

Thanks for your assistance.
