Well the story is... I was at a conference and Meiko were going to use some of our programs as demos. Unfortunately they didn't have a spare Sun so they borrowed on (from Sun) and brought a tape with them. ++Unfortunately neither of the Meiko dudes had ever installed their own software on a sun before and as soon as they saw me asked if I would do it... To cut a (very) lonag story (well it certainly seemed long) short on the tape I extracted from there was a "c++" directory. This was a tape from Meiko. I didn't look into the directory as there were plenty of other problems to solve and I'm not familliar with c++. So there you go. BTW don't many c++ "compilers" act as a pre-processor and spew out "standard" C into the normal C compiler (it's just what I heard) ? -- --Paul Mitchell (CMA N.Cheshire, DoD#0145) | Computer Centre, JANET: cca04@uk.ac.keele.seq1 | University of Keele, Keele, USENET: cca04@seq1.keele.ac.uk@nss.cs.ucl.ac.uk | Staffordshire, ST5 5BG, U.K. BITNET: cca04%seq1.keele.ac.uk@ukacrl | 0782 - 621111 ext 3302
