First off, g++ is quite a good implementation and many people use it very successfully on the Series 300. However... Have you thought about getting the HP C++ product? Based on ATT cfront 2.0 C++ as in Lippman's book and includes source code examples from the book too! g++ is NOT based on the 2.0 ATT cfront standard described in Lippman's book. HP C++ also includes *lots* of other neat stuff [long description deleted] and is probably the best C++ in the UN*X marketplace right now (IMHO). For Series 300, the part numbers you need are B1691A and B1693A and the price is about $1700 before university software discount (not sure, but I think it is 50% or more discount for HP C++). You can call your local HP sales office (Santa Barbara?) or a larger regional office (Hollywood 818-505-5600) or the Customer Information phone number (1-800-752-0900) for more info. You might just call and ask for the 'technical data sheets' for all of the HP C++ products. Part numbers 5952-1568 (HP C++), 5952-0746 (Domain/C++), 5952-2946 (HP C++Developer -- Browser and Class construction tool), and 5952-2933 (HP C++/SoftBench -- complete C++ development environment). If your heart is still set on g++, then I am sure one of the many g++ users on Series 300 will answer your posting shortly. > Mark S.
