Does anyone know where I can obtain a public domain version of C++ for a Sun 3/50. I've heard of G++ (GNU)? Does G++ require GNU's C compiler, or can I use Sun standard C compiler with it?

It's a compiler (produces object code), not a translator, and uses the GCC back end. So you need GCC as well. -- -Colin (uunet!microsoft!w-colinp) "Don't listen to me. I never do."

You need to have `gcc' to build `g++', if you can't get a Sun 3/50 executable. Note carefully that some semantics are different from `cfront', and that libraries built with `cfront' are not compatible with code compiled with `g++' (Set me straight if your new release fixes this, Michael!)
