I recently received Zortech C++ for my PS-2/50.  But very soon I
found out that I might have made a mistake.  I have lots of code written
in Turbo C and a few in Microsoft C.  There seems no way that I can
use Zortech C to compile my code without rewriting Turbo C library
routines myself.  The Zortech linker is simply incompatible with others.
Zortech (those who received my call) claim that their compiler is Turbo C
& Microsoft C compatible.  Actually, this is not true either, for example
Zortech doesn't allow dynamic array initialization.  Besides, Zortech has
only the most basic graphics support which is far from sufficient.

Anyone has any ideas what I should do if I still want to switch to C++?
A C++ translator makes more sense to me now.
