While comming up to speed on Microsoft Windows and gradually becoming more frustated at all the overhead that one needs to go through to do anything trivial I becan to wonder whether anyone had interfaced C++ to Windows. Are there available classes that would cut down my development time? Do any of you have 'war stories to relate? Any responses would be very much appreciated.

We are interested in getting a C++ environment up and running on an MS-DOS 386 machine running MS-DOS (probably with a dos extender soon). We would like any and all information on vendors for PC-based C++ preprocessors to run through our Microsoft C and our own OS-9 68K cross compiler (both of which take pretty much standard vanilla C with a few ANSI extensions, such as structure passing and assignment, etc., although our cross compiler does not handle type checking, but presumably C++ does that anyway). We are prepared to pay whatever is necessary to get it up, and we might even consider a restricted source license if it is available to customize the preprocessor to produce output specific to our debugger. (the minimal capability we would like to see is C++ source included in the preprocessed C as comments.) Please CALL me at (415) 571-7171x505, I will call you back immediately. If I am not in, PLEASE leave a message on the voice mail (just wait and it will start recording automatically). Mitsu Hadeishi CDI Development Group Electronic Arts

In article <3874@well.UUCP> I write: >on an MS-DOS 386 machine running MS-DOS (probably with a dos extender Ahem. I meant to type "MS-DOS 386 machine running Windows". It is OK if the C++ preprocessor doesn't run under Windows, although that's partly why we would like a restricted source license, i.e., to help integrate it with our development environment (which runs under Windows). Also, in case it wasn't clear, our cross-compiler DOES handle "type checking", just not function argument type checking. -Mitsu

I believe that John Carolan of Glockenspiel, who ported C++ to MS-DOS, is working on C++ classes to interface to MS-Windows. He will be giving a talk about this at the USENIX C++ Workshop, November 9-10. Glockenspiel's software is sold in the U.S. by LifeBoat Associates. -- Keith Gorlen phone: (301) 496-5363 Building 12A, Room 2017 uucp: seismo!elsie!nih-csl!keith National Institutes of Health Bethesda, MD 20892

I understand that the Oasys C++ preprocessor will work correctly
with the Microsoft C Compiler rev 4.0. This C compiler has a
compile-time option that causes it to generate Windows-compatible
code.
