C++ for Microport

[Michael J. Young]

I was going to mail this response, but I thought it might be useful to
others as well.

I can't help with the second question, but as for the first:

I bought a version of CFRONT 1.2 from Comeau Computing a while back, and it
works fine.  I've never found anything that I could compile with other
ports of CFRONT (like DOS or OS/2) that didn't also work under Microport
V/AT.  It cost $250, and is available on just about any PC version of UNIX,
including XENIX, System V/AT and the 386 machines.

I know they're working on a 2.0 port, but I don't know when it will be
available.  Their address is:

		Comeau Computing
		91-34 120th Street
		Richmond Hill, NY  11418
		(718) 849-2355

I'm not affiliated with them, just a satisfied customer.
