Well, I've starting using C++ at work and it seems like an improved way to create programs (although I'd actually rather use a good, fast Smalltalk implementation. But I digress....). On my Amiga 2000 at home I'd like to do the same thing, but I have the Manx 5.0 compiler (works fine, but no C++). Some questions: (1) Is Manx bringing out C++ in the NEAR future? (2) Is there some PD or commercial add-on that would graft it onto Manx? Questions specific to Lattice C++ (the only C++ available?): (1) Is it working well, or while you debug are there more crashes? (2) Is it a faithful version of the recent AT&T version 2.0? (3) Are there PD (or commercial) classes for Intuition? The Exec? (4) Is the debugger well behaved for C++ (demangling names?). I can't tell if these questions will generate alot of net traffic or not, so I'll be conservative; send me e-mail if you have answers, and I'll post a summary in a week or so. Thanks!
