Hi,

I was wondering if anybody out there can give me any suggestions on a
good c++ compiler for the Mac.  I'm involved in a programming project
that seems well suited to OOP, and I'm looking for something that can
produce a good, window oriented, finished application.  Graphics and
animation ability are a must.  Any suggestions or recommendations? 

As a side note,  I don't know C++, but I am proficient in C, and I know
Smalltalk, though not quite as well.

Oh yeah,  I saw a book on C++ and the Zortech (I think) compiler in a
local bookstore, but I didn't have much time to look at it, and I never
really found out whether it's for the Mac or PC, or both.  It did look
like it was using Digitalk's Smalltalk/V in it's examples for it's
discussion of general object oriented programming.  Can anybody tell me
anything about this?

Email responses are welcome,
Thanx,

Jefferson Provost
