[comp.lang.c++] cfront

kls@ditka.UUCP (Karl Swartz) (12/01/89)

Does anybody know if cfront is available for the UNIX PC?  Yes, I'm
sure folks inside AT&T have ported it, but that doesn't do much good
for us mortals, and I don't feel like forking over a lot of bucks to
AT&T for the source.

I suppose G++ might be ok but I'd prefer to have the real McCoy if
it can be had.

Karl, believe it or not we (Comeau Computing) sell a binary version of
C++ for the UNIX PC.  It is C++ 2.0 and like many of the other C++'s we
are based on the de facto standard 'cfront', which we've licensed from AT&T.
We also have it available on various other platforms (UNIX 386's at $250 being
the most popular as well as XENIX 386 at $250 and the 3B2 at $1K and we're
currently putting on the finishing touches to an MS-DOS version which will be
$250).  Cost is $375 for the UNIX PC version.

The package comes with floppy(ies) containing the binaries, libraries, and
include files for C++, the C++ 2.0 Language Reference Manual, free life-time
tech support, and if you desire (this is not part of the package any longer but
is being offered while supplies last) a copy of Stroustrup's text and/or
Weiner and Pinson's text.  If you've any further questions or concerns you can
call us at 718-849-2355 or sent mail to:
uunet!utoday!csanta!c++ or attmail!csanta!c++.
