Hi there, I'm fairly new to C++ and I'm using Keith Gorlen's (et.al.) book (Data Abstraction and Object-Oriented Programming in C++) to get into it (I know C fairly well). Currently I am trying to compile the NIH class library using the Zortech C++ V2.1 compiler (discovering several compiler bugs in the process) using a PC386 under SCO ODT. There are a couple of problems here, some easier (some things seem to need complete specification like (Object::)nil in Assoc.h) and some more difficult. Maybe someone out there has tried the same combination and knows what to do about the following: - what are those ..c files for (e.g. Exception..c or Class..c)? With my compiler they collect messages, which of course don't compile as C++ code. Can I simply remove them ? - NIHCL seems to assume a stream library different from the Zortech one, any ideas which one (hope I'm not hitting on an FAQ here ...) - some files simply produce internal compiler errors, which is bad enough in the first compiler phase, when one has a chance of locating them, but in the second phase these are really nasty (feel like a beta tester for Zortech). One of these files is KeySortCltn.h. This should be enough for now; if you have (overcome ?) the same sort of problems could you please contact me vie E-mail? In case of sufficient interest I will summarize or E-mail to 'me too's. Martin Ameskamp
