Anyway ... what I'd really like is a Think C++, with no 32K limit and true C++ compatibility (at least thru version 1.2; I could live without multiple inheritance if I had to.) The current object support in Think C 4.0 is not encouraging in this respect, being close enough to look like C++, but different enough to be confusing/incompatible. I seem to recall this being hashed thru in this group a few months back, but (a) I wasn't paying very close attention at the time and (b) perhaps the Think-ers have something new to report? I'd really like to use a Think compiler, but the current one won't work for me without more trouble than I can afford. -- Mark McWiggins Integration Technologies, Inc.

I hate to bring this up again, but does anyone have any idea as to whether
Symantec is planning actually making a THINK C that is C++ compatible?
I'm working on a project right now to do operations on matricies, and it
sure would be nice to have a full C++ implementation (nope, I can't afford
MPW C++) to create my matrix class, and define the operations that can
be performed on a matrix.
The THINK C TCL is pretty nifty for fast & neat programming of typical
user-friendly applications in the Mac environment, but when it comes
right down to doing a down & dirty, highly specialized application in
which it would be nice to design some highly specialized classes,
THINK C just doesn't fit the bill.
I'm actually considering doing this program on our Suns at the university,
simply because this project fits would be an ideal C++ implementation, and
THINK C OOP falls far short.
So how 'bout it? Anyone got an angle on whether THINK C++ is in the
planning stages (at least)?
Or even better, does anyone have any suggestions which might make this
project of mine less painful to do in THINK C OOP?

Someone has posted stuff for ThinkC/C++ compatibility. I have a
copy of it, but I am not sure where I got it. I have included the
email info hear so you can ask the person who wrote it.
