>Could you please tell me WHAT additional platforms you have compilers for.
Comeau C++ 3.0 With Templates is available for a number of platforms including
IBM RS/6000, Sun SPARC, AmigaDOS, UNIX 386 and 486 SVR3 (Altos, AT&T 6386,
Bell Technologies, DELL, ENIX, ESIX, Intel, Interactive 386/ix, Lynx OS,
Microport 386, Prime, SCO UNIX, Toshiba, UNISYS 6000, VenturCom VENIX),
UNIX 386 and 486 SVR4 including SVR4/MP (AT&T, Consensys, DELL, Intel,
Microport, Micro Station Technology, NCR, Toshiba, UHC, UNISYS). If you're
on one of these 386 or 486 platforms, price is $250, and includes UPS Blue
2nd day air shipping at no extra charge and free technical support. The
Comeau C++ 3.0 MS-DOS port has been announced and will be shipping within
days. Comeau C++ RSN's include Sun's Solaris, USL's Destiny, OS/2, Atari ST,
Coherent 386 4.0, and so on. Also, Comeau C++ 3.0.1 (which will be a free
upgrade) is already in beta on some of the above platforms. I probably left
out some that we have (and we definitely have more from 2.1 that we will
continue to sell — AT&T 3B2, Sun 3, XENIX, AT&T UNIX PC, etc — but that we
thus far have no plans to 3.0'ize) as well as other ports still in the works
that are too soon to talk about (one could probably guess them though).
BTW, Comeau C++ is a licensed port of AT&T USL cfront.
> What C compilers on these platforms do you recommend?
On UNIX boxes, the C compiler that comes with the UNIX C development system.
Under AmigaDOS, either SAS or Manx. Under MS-DOS, Microsoft. I won't list
those for those platforms that we don't have formally released yet.
Note: These list change over time (hint, a number are going to be changing
soon).
>I'm specifically interested in doing multi-platform development on the Amiga
>(natch), the PC (both MS-DOS and Windows (possibly OS/2)) and the Mac.
As per above, we've got Amiga and MS-dos covered. OS/2 is currently in
active progress (and Windows might be released at the same time). Mac is
currently on the drawing board.
