Well, wait not longer: Comeau Computing, a multi-platform C++ vendor,
has announced an AmigaDos version of Comeau C++. Comeau Computing was
the first vendor to commercially release a 2.0 compatible compiler and
is currently the only vendor selling a 2.1 spec compatible compiler as
well as the only vendor with an ANSI C++ base compatible compiler.
Comeau C++ is a compiling translator based on AT&T cfront. The initial
release backends to Lattice 5.10a (as we emit C code as our object code).
(I suppose this message will come as a shock to y'all here but it
is legit — 'j comeau' on BIX for further info, and certainly I'm
willing to field any questions you may have here. Since questions are
apt to be redundant you're probably best off placing them here or on
BIX instead of e-mailing me).
