I have heard there is a C++ compiler for the Mac. Does anyone know who sells it or if it is shareware out there? Because my code reads some information from a file and writes to a new file, it is no so important to me that I can interact with the Mac interface as to be able to download code that is developed on under Unix and compile it with no change.

Apple sells C++ for the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (MPW). You can get it from the Apple's Developer Tools Express at (800)282-2732. Please note that I do not use C++. I use MPW with C and Fortran. David Gutierrez drg@mdaali.cancer.utexas.edu "Only fools are positive." - Moe Howard

Because Think C doesn't support the virtual keyword or private or protected members, there is very little C++ code that will compile out of the box. For the same reason, while C++ can compile much Think C code, it won't do what it is expected to as Think C treats every method as virtual.
