I have g++ but not AT&T's C++. The g++ README file states that g++ is NOT perfectly compatible with C++ but does not elaborate on what the differences are. The InterViews README file states that it requires C++ and uses a modified version of `cfront' (patches supplied with InterViews). Has anyone tried to compile InterViews with g++? If so, did it work and what problems did you have? If nobody has yet, then I will try it myself and tell whoever is interested how it went. -- "Take my Worf, please." - Lt.

Actually the `User's Guide to Gnu C++', which comes with the G++ distribution, explains exactly what the incompatibilites are. They seem to be minor (mostly needed to support additional G++ capabilities). I remember reading a reference to InterViews somewhere in the G++ documentation, but I can't find it right now. (Perhaps a find -exec grep would help you, I don't have the time right now.) I'd suggest making sure you have the latest G++ version (1.32.0, I believe) since the stuff is still changing fairly quickly. Silvio Levy

I'd like to post diff's but I don't have the original anymore... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric P.
