I hear they (not ``it'') exist/are-in-the-works, but it is not up to me to make product announcements, especially for companies I don't work for, so I can't tell you where to look for them, or when. > Or failing that could > someone mail me a C++ program and the corresponding Translator > output(that is the ordinary C produced by the preprocessor)?

You are welcome to try, just get it right. The last thing we need is a number of incompatible C++ dialects. If you assume you can do it in a couple of month, look a bit closer. I suggest that it will be less painful simply to buy a translator. > > Sarima (Stanley Friesen) > - Bjarne Stroustrup PS Now that we have net.lang.c++ we ought put C++ specific articles there.
