I was asked to post summary about the current status of C++ on the Macintosh,
so here goes.  It seems that many people suspect/feel(/know?) that
Macintosh Programmer's Workshop 3.0 will have C++ support.  I'd certainly like
to find out more about this, since the info I do have is sketchy....and if I
missed all the discussion because I've only recently started reading the 
comp.sys.mac.programmer and comp.sys.mac newsgroups, could someone please e-mail
me a summary of things like availability, cost, etc?  I'd really appreciate it.

On the A/UX side, I'm aware of a port of AT&T's cfront 1.? to A/UX by a 
company called Oasys.  We were looking at their version of C++ for some 3B2's
here at work and I happened to note that they have an A/UX port.  I have
no idea if there are other companies with ports.  I wouldn't be surprised,
and I'm not trying to slight any company, although Oasys claimed to be the only
company with an A/UX ported C++.  If there are others, I'd like to know about
them (sure, send me your flyers... :-).

I'd love to learn more...

Disclaimers:  I have no affiliation with Oasys and have never worked with any of
their software.  I have no affiliation with Apple (though I have worked with
their software :-).
