[net.lang.c++] c++ availability for the IBM PC

kdj@se-sd.UUCP (Doug Johnston x6243) (10/06/86)

I am aware of the availability of c++ from AT&T but I want a c++ implementation
which is already running on the PC.  Also, as an individual, I can not afford 
the price of an AT&T license.  If anyone knows of an available implementation 
mail the info to me.
  Thanks,
  Doug Johnston
