Well, this out to stir up some controversy ...

The company I'm employed by is starting a new software development project
that will begin with 5 people but will likely grow to 15 or 20.
Naturally, I have suggested that we use C++ to make the division of effort
more apparent [insert classic object oriented arguements ...]

My question is this:  Which compiler/translator should I use, given the
constraint that it must run on DEC VAX workstation (GPX) under Ultrix?
As I see it, the choices are AT&T, Oasis, Oregon, and GNU.
I already have some preconceived notions about each of these products but
would appreciate any input that anyone could give me, including criticisms
of the type "I used brand X and it was a real dog".

Please email all responses to me and I'll summarize to this newsgroup if
the reply warrants it.

Thanks in advance,

Jon Becher
