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 The Lattice product is outdated and nothing more than a pre-processor.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. — Ethan
