Apple is working on a version of C++ that runs under the Macintosh
Programmer's Workshop (MPW). It is currently undergoing some
limited alpha testing. Beta versions will be available from
APDA sometime within the next 1-2 months.

I believe that OASYS's C++ only runs under Apple's UNIX system.
It is a vanilla C++, without any of the Mac extensions that
our C++ will have (support for SANE floating point, ability to
call pascal routines, etc).
