[comp.lang.c] survey of experiences with Designer C++

neville@sun7.ads.arpa.arpa (03/26/87)

i am interested in getting C++ for use here at ADS, and since i
don't want to do a port from the AT&T package (we run Suns),
i am looking at Designer C++ from Oasys.

i know that their ports (from AT&T package) are actually done for them
by Glockenspeil (sp?)  in Ireland, and i believe that company has a
somewhat better reputation than Oasys itself.

If anyone has experiencew with ...

	a) Oasys or Glockenspeil (incl. general tech support, etc.)
	b) Designer C++, in general
	c) Designer C++, for Suns in particular
	d) C++ as a partner with Common Lisp or Scheme for doing
	   symbolic computing (this would seem to be perfect for C++)

... i would be *more* than happy to hear from you.  i will summarize this
information to the list, so please watch here and don't send "me-too" mail.
Thanks.
