I am about to buy a Mac LC and will be looking for a C++ compiler. When I read the product definition for the MPW product it appears that I will require the MPW environment AND the MPW C compiler as well. 1. Is this true? 2. How much memory will all this require? 3. How much of a dog will the LC be for programming (C++, C, MacApp)? 4. Is there another C++ compiler that I should look at instead? 5. Did I miss anything? Will I need some other software as well such as the toolkit or something else?

There are plenty of libraries on the CD-ROM (just go to a dealer to copy them to floppies), and MacApp 3.0 will be in C++. Object Pascal just isn't the same (tho' it _does_ use less memory and compile faster--nice for "quickies" :-) ) Mark Lanett -- /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Mark Lanett ml27192@uxa.cs.uiuc.edu

There is a true C++ compiler (not CFront based) forthcoming from Zortech. -- ============================================================================== Gisli R. Hjaltason grh@rhi.hi.is Iceland
