I would love to see C++ on HP9000s too.  Anyone else interested in C++??

How many of you are there who are interested in a C++ translator and/or 
compiler on HP9000 S300 and/or S800?  
Which product,or combination of products, are you most interested in?  
(C++/300 translator, C++/300 compiler, C++/800 translator, C++/800 compiler)
Would you be migrating existing C code?  Only doing new C++ development?
How concerned are you with compatibility with K&R C, ANSI C, other C++ 
(ATT, g++?) software?
Would you use C++ as 'a better C' or as a vehicle for Object Oriented
Programming (OOP)?
How much interest in integration with other existing tools?  (xdb, etc.)
How much interest in new tools specifically for C++?
How much interest in an integrated environment featuring C++?
What is your vision for C++ in the future?
How soon would you buy it?  
How soon could you use it?  
What is your wish list?
Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Feel free to post and/or to send mail to me.
