[comp.lang.c++] C++ advantages

srb@lanl.gov ( Steve Berger ) (03/23/90)

I'm new to the world of C programming and C++.

I was wondering if some of you out there could give me some
of the advantages of using C++ as opposed to C.

Currently I'm developing some software using C, but am considering
the possiblity of moving to C++.

Also, I'm doing this under MS/DOS so I'm looking into getting the
Zortech compiler.

Does anyone know if I can get it from anywhere besides Zortech?

Most places I called didn't even know what I was talking about.

I called Zortech, they want $450 for the complete developers kit.

DO I need all the kit?  OR should I just purchase the compiler?

Any comments would be appreciated.  I'm not having much luck finding
out anything about this.
