Is there a C++ compile for the Mac? I think there is an MPW version, but does anyone know if there is something like "Turbo C++" on the IBM for the Mac? Does Think C 4.0 support C++ extensions? Also, are all these versions of C++ compatible with each other? Thanxx... Brendan Duddridge Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada

Yes, there's MPW C++. It has a few extensions -- basic objects that support pascal objects, are optimized for single-inheritance, etc. Zortech C++ (also for MPW) has the same extensions, since they're needed for MacApp. Think C (a.k.a. Think C+-) is a port of Object Pascal to C. As such, it's puzzling as to why it doesn't support MacApp. However, it doesn't. Also, its syntax is not quite the same (the New operator is a function, 'virtual' not required, etc.) >Brendan Duddridge >Winnipeg, Manitoba >Canada -- //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Lanett ml27192@uxa.cs.uiuc.edu Software Tools Group, NCSA mlanett@ncsa.uiuc.edu

Think C behaves more like Object Pascal than C++. According to a friend, Turbo
C++'s user interface was based on Think C's.
The mythical Think C 5.0 may support C++ but 4.0 only supports single-inheritance,
no "friends," private/privilaged keywords, etc.
