It seems that both c++ programs (I'll avoid using the term compiler for
either) have their deficiencies. The Lattice product is outdated and
nothing more than a pre-processor. The Comeau has (as of now) no specific
AmigaDOS/Intuition support, and so that part of the programming will be
done the old way, in C, unless we want to write complete class libraries by
ourselves. IMNSHO, one of the best cases for using C++ over C is how much
easier it can make manipulating a GUI.
Of course, although Comeau appears to have a headstart, there is the SAS
product on the way.
