I heard that Zortech's C++ compiler is now available on Unix. Can someone tell me 1) Is this true? 2) Is it available for Interactive V2.2? 3) How does Zortech stack up compared to other compilers available on this platform. I never paid them much heed, figured they were just into DOS. 4) Any other recommendations? thanks andy -- yasc software company woodside, ca (415)366-9272 yascsw@well.sf.ca.us (yet another software company - fyi)

No. It's not available. Yet. > 2) Is it available for Interactive V2.2? SCO UNIX will be first. > 3) How does Zortech stack up compared to other compilers available on this > platform. I never paid them much heed, figured they were just into DOS. When it's all ready to start shipping I'll do some 'real' benchmarks. Right now let's just say I am pleased with the job Walter has done on the code generator. We are into DOS, OS/2, MS Windows, Rational Systems DOS extender, (all shipping), with SCO UNIX and Phar Lap 386 DOS extender announced as being available soon (yeah, I know -- vaporware...). > 4) Any other recommendations? Be patient. It will be available soon. I'm not at liberty to be more specific. -- joe@proto.com FAX: 208-263-8772

No, but we're working on it.
<2) Is it available for Interactive V2.2?
Initial support will be for SCO unix.
<3) How does Zortech stack up compared to other compilers available on this
<platform. I never paid them much heed, figured they were just into DOS.
Zortech supports OS/2 also.

It will be available soon. I'm not at liberty to be more specific. According to the Zortech ad in "Computer Language", August issue, page 57, bottom-right corner: "C++ at work - September 24, 1990. Zortech will launch C++ for Unix 386 & DOS 386". I was hoping to be able to order an upgrade for my Dos ZTC in a matter of 2 weeks, but, pity!, I have Interactive, not SCO... I *do* hope the Interactive one come soon! -- Alex Martelli - CAD.LAB s.p.a., v.

If Gehani's Concurrent C is a superset of C++, how about making it a compiler option? -- Phone: (work) 219-482-9631 MCI mail: DFEUSTEL BIX: FEUSTEL E-mail: feustel@well.sf.ca.us {ucbvax,apple,hplabs,pacbell}!well!feustel USMAIL: Dave Feustel, 1930 Curdes Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46805-2710
