Apple was supposed to release C++ with MPW 3.0.  It is not currently being
distributed with the Beta version of 3.0.  The non-beta version should be
out Real Soon Now.  However, the C++ release was originally being delayed 
until AT&T released C++ 2.0 so it may not be released even when MPW 3.0
comes out.

I've heard no rumors on whether LightSpeed C will implement C++... There is
a compiler tool called MacYACC which claims it includes a C++ to C translator
(as an example!) but I've no idea how well it performs.

Does anyone know the current status of AT&T C++ 2.0 or MPW C++???
