What is real >weird now, is that although the programs execute, the streams objects (cin, >cout,and cerr) appear not to work, i.e., a program of the form: the problem w/ running g++ on a 386/sysV platform seems to be more realted to libg++ than to g++ itself. g++ works quite well. for example, i just ported the stanford Interviews package to my 386/ix 2.0.1 system w/ very little problems. Interviews is a c++ object oriented library that allows you to do nifty graphical things under X11. it is worth getting interviews if only for the interactive drawing program called idraw that comes w/ the distribution. --luis@rice.edu
