So far, people have kindly volunteered to serve as libg++ pretesters on the following machines/systems Sequent Symmetry/Dynix Sun3/SunOs3.x Sun3/SunOs4.x Sun4/SunOs4.x Encore/Mach Vax/Mach 386/MicroPort SysV.3 Masscomp 5600/RTU HP9000xx/HPUX It does appear that there will be a need to create config.libg++ scripts that create or edit .h files, since compile-time #ifdefs no longer seem to adequately capture all the information needed to distinguish different configurations. If the system you use is not among those listed above, you could help yourself and others by pretesting these config scripts. If you would like to be a prestester for a system not listed, please write me soon (at dl@oswego.edu). Again, you need to have internet ftp access, and be willing to test prereleases usually within a few days of a request. If you cannot do this, but have some highly-libg++-dependent programs you could share with pretesters, that too might be helpful. (To those who have already volunteered but to whom I haven't yet replied: Thanks! I'll make a mailing list and send out a note within a few days.) -Doug

In regard to porting to the MASSCOMP RTU 4.0. The main area of
problems is in the standard I/O. In particular _IOB structure. The
fields are in different orders, have different sizes, and some
fields, _bufsiz, are absent.
I don't know of a good way to get around this. Possibly a
pre-processor tool which will extract the local stdio.h and setup
the configuration flags to enable _BUFSIZ or VPRINTF code
