FSF's GNU project C++ is available (in not fully-debugged form) from a couple
of FTP'able sites -- terminator.cc.umich.edu is one -- but from all reports
it requires at least 2Mbytes to run, 4M to do anything serious, so an unex-
panded 1040ST is not enough.  If you have a Mega or have expanded your ST's
memory, you might want to check it out.

Does it exist?  I hear rumors that Lattice or HiSoft are working on one.  
I'd be quite willing to work with a beta version.  I have GNU C++ for the 
ST, but only the pre processor is working currently.

Anything will be appreciated.

I just received the "Borland Zeitung" pushing Turbo C++ for MS-DOM.
No word about the ST, though.   (<- even less than a rumour).

I just heard from my parents (who were ordering the 2.0 upgrade for me) that
the 3.0 upgrade `der plus-plus Version' should be out in 3 weeks.  Heimsoeth
is apparently holding upgrade orders for 2.0 until they can fill them with 3.0
(at the same price, I'm told).

Hearsay; I guess that cuts it as a real rumor now? :-)

Looks like a rumour at the moment.

If this is true, could anyone confirm that? I have ordered 2.0, and it is 
still not delivered. I would be very pleasantly surprised if I would find
3.0 C++ in my mailbox, but if not, I'll have to contact Heimsoeth to find
out when my 2.0 arrives.

G++ from FSF already exists, but this requiers a large memory and a Hard drive.

I have just purshased Lattice C Vsn 5 from HISOFT. In the manual it states that
the -C flag on the compiler will place it into compatibility mode with the
Lattice C++ front end. So could HISOFT be porting the C++ pre processor to the
ST ? I certainly hope so.

Unfortunately it is nothing more ...

I called Borland Germany yesterday and they told me that there
are no plans concerning a V3.0 for the ST. That's really not
very surprising, 'cause the V2.0 is just a few months old.

Probably there were some things messed up with XT and ST or
sth like this.

It was too good to be true ...

So the long waiting times befoer V2.0 is delivered is not because of this.
Am I the only one having to wait for 3 or 4 weeks now?
If so, could anyone let me know? Then I can call Heimsoeth about it.
If not, do you know why it is taking so long, and how long may it take?

Thanks,

Has anybody a more or less complete list of C++ compilers implemented
on the ST? I am also interessted in the full suppliers address and the
prices of the products.

I have heard of GNU C++. Is it a native compiler or only a
pre-processor? Where do I get it as fast as possible?

Greetings...

I'm trying to find a C++ compiler for the Atari ST.  I have a 1040 with
4 meg of memory and two DS floppies.  I do not have a hard drive at this
time, but I plan on getting one at some point.

Does anyone know of a decent commercial C++ compiler for the ST?  If
not, does anyone know how to get G++ for the ST without having to
recompile the whole mess?  I don't want to attempt to recompile G++
without a hard drive, but I'm hoping that I can use it with the dual
DS floppies and 4 meg.  I would need the executables, libraries, and
docs (including those for the debugger and whatever support stuff is
necessary).

Is this stuff available anywhere?  I do not really have FTP access, just
e-mail.  Thanks for any and all help.
