[comp.lang.c++] THINK C and C++

mdm@eleazar.dartmouth.edu (Michael McDaniel) (08/06/90)

HELP!  I just bought THINK C 4.0 and am trying to work with C++.  I bought
"Using C++" by Bruce Eckel (pub:OsborneMcGraw-Hill).  It directs me to
#include <iostream.h>, but I can find no file.  Nor can I make the cout
command work.  Anybody out there who could help would be greatly
appreciated.  I am on the net at 1200 baud, so please email to me.  THANK
YOU!

Think C is NOT a full version of C++. It is C with objects, a subset
of C++.  No new keywords were introduced, and things like new() and
delete() were implemented as functions.  Further, there is no
<iostream.h>.  Hopefully, Symantec will implement a full version
of C++ in release 5.0.

You're welcome.

Probably not.  I talked with some people from Think at MacWorld.  The guy
that I talked to seemed to imply that they were planning on adding C++-isms
to TC, but were not planning on making TC into C++ -- maybe a seperate product
someday if they could figure out how to do it right (his words, not mine).
His main defense was that C++ is a moving target, and that they wanted to do
it right [e.g. not CFront -- +C].
