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.

	Harry Sharp

The C++ compiler is a C++ to C translator.  Technically, C++ is a pre-processor
with extensive library support...

Well, not really.  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.
