I'd like to run C++ on a VAXstation 3100 under VMS. It looks like the only thing available is G++. Any alternate suggestions? Since G++ looks like the best (only!) option at this point, I'd appreciate any thoughts on the feasibility of such a setup and hints on installation from anyone who has done this before. I'll be using this for a project, one of the specifications for which is that the application I'll be producing must run initially on VT100 under VMS. Eventually, I'd like to add DECwindows compatibility, which would allow me to put together a much nicer interface, but I still need to allow for the possibility that some poor users will be forced to struggle along using VT100's only. With this in mind, I'd like to make the screen code as modular as possible. With this background, are there any ideas about libraries to use for the screen coding? Specifically, is there anything available to interface with the windowing system? Andrew Eichstaedt MIT Sloan School AEichsta@Athena.MIT.EDU

If I get it working on the VAXStation, then I can get them to put it up on the VAX 8650. Then people get hooked... > Andrew Eichstaedt > MIT Sloan School > > AEichsta@Athena.MIT.EDU -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark Gooderum Only... \ Merry Christmas !!!
