> C++ version 3.0 minus templates and exception handling. I guess this is reasonable for most users. As I said, if these extra features are required then there is still the option of Commeau C++. I find that C++ makes programming 10 times the enjoyment of non-OO languages. As for dynamic dispatching – I added that as an after thought to my message. I haven't thought about how useful it would be on the Amiga, but it is used under Microsoft Windows to bind specific events (like keystrokes & mouseclicks) to particular objects that represent an element on the screen. I wouldn't worry about this too much. I think it is better to implement the standard features of the language rather than add features available only in one other compiler produced by a company that makes a habit of creating non-standard languages (Borland).
