To Walter Bright who apparently follows this newsgroup, congratulations on a magnificent job. The compiler appears a little faster than Turbo C and compiles several pieces of code which I regard as "hard" tests, Berkeley style stuff which PC compilers other than Borland's and Lattice's generally break on, easily. Major C++ features which I have tested work. I have noticed a couple of minor glitches which I am told will be repaired free-of-charge after about 4 weeks when most such items are known. Stream output (cout) works on my computer at home but not on Govt. computers (Zenith 248s & Sperry IT's) at work, a piece of the resident help utility occasionally gets left in the ruler line of the zed editor, and the XOR write mode for circles of the flash-graphics package included (or possibly my understanding of same) is lacking something. Compared to most 1.0 releases of software, a pretty short list. Ted Holden HTE

Walter Bright's Zortech C++ compiler sounds great. Can anyone tell me how to get a copy? Can this or any other C++ compiler be used to write programs that run under Microsoft Windows? Does anyone have experience in using C++ to generate Windows programs? Is C++ a good choice of language for this? What's the ideal PC configuration for writing C or C++ code that must run under Windows? Would anyone recommend getting a PS/2 Model 70 with the larger 8514 monitor? You can e-mail repsonses to me and I'll summarize to the net. Steve Hardy, Teknowledge Inc., Phone 415-424-0500, SHARDY@TEKNOWLEDGE.ARPA

Zortech C++ does not work with Microsoft Windows. I plan to soon
make Zortech C and C++ OS/2 and PM compatible, but have no
current plans to support Windows.

I plan to soon make Zortech C and C++ OS/2 and PM compatible, but have no current plans to support Windows. If you really need to write a window that uses microsoft windows you might have a look at a product called "Actor." I have been going round-and-round on this issue myself. I have a small application that I am building and have been trying to decide between actor and c++. I prefer c++ as a language for a variety of reasons, but ACTOR has a lot of microsoft windows smarts built in. If you really need to use windows, actor is worth looking at. I am just an actor user, I'm not involved with them any other way. Paul Mahler ...sun!plato!paul
