Microsoft's C++ compiler is much more actively developed. Note that this did NOT involve rewriting everything to use objects and classes, but simply to convert the code so that it was legal C++ as well as legal C. My understanding is that the gcc project did this too, and for similar reasons. > > Ed > Hey Ed, long time no see! Yes, it would be good if we could compile with a C++ compiler. It shouldn't be all that hard to do, but I think I tried it at one point and it will need some help. -hpa |
