    Hi, well I had similar problems with the C++ compiler from Zortech, even  
very simple operator overloading where two integers formed a vector did not
generate the correct code.
    After my initial disapointment, I attempted to compile a number of the 
example programms from THE C++ book.  Aprox. 10 failed.  Even the complex 
number code from AT&T failed.  They promised me a new bug free version of 
the compiler, but I am still waiting.  ? How can a company distribute a
compiler that doesn't even compile simple C++ constructs?  I consider that
I wasted by money, and infact that they have provided a disservice to the
user community in general.  Many people that do not know C++ and attempt
to learn it from the Zortech code, will be discouraged.  
     The opinions expressed are my own.
