I have been informed by HP Labs in the UK that both the AT&T and GNU C++
systems have been successfully ported to HP 9000/300 and 800 series machines.
I am now attempting to get hold of both these for evaluation, however I would
still be interested in a fully supported product from HP. I would be using C++
for its OOP facilities. We are doing image processing research here and I think
that OOP would be a big help. I really want to compare C++ and Objective-C
(and yes I have a working Objective-C) as we already have a lot of code written
in C which could be translated to one of these languages.
