[-- beware ! trained line eater --] \ / <@@> {} Greetings, Down here at Univ. So. Car. (THE USC) are very interested in C++ and applications of it. We happen to have a few pieces of software written in C++ and no compiler/interpreter/translator/desparate grad students (dgs) who have the requisite knowledge. To be exact, we are unsure what the exact differences between C and C++ other than the readily apparent comments. Anybody know of where to go to find the info ? Perchance there may even be a C++ to C translator? Any and all info is appreciated.

The usual concept of a pre-processor is a program that copies parts of its input unchanged to its output and picks the pieces that interest it out of the rest and transforms those pieces in some way. The C++ translator does a complete parse of its input. It just happens to generate C instead of machine language.
