I have purchased the new Symantec C++ 6.0 and I thought I'd get a complete C++ compiler. I've tried to port some progs I developped on a Windows/DOS C++ compiler. Unfortunately I discovered some drawbacks of Symantec C++ like: – the "new"-operator doesn't seem to be applicable for non class memory allocation such as: new int[10]; (I know there is that direct/indirect addressing problem!) – constructors may not have arguments Will there ever be a way to use one source code for these problems? Or will I have to live with some strange Mac C++?

Michael, >>constructors may not have arguments Not true. I've got lots of constructors with arguments. SC++ appears to follow the proposed ANSI C++ spec, with about the only exception being "exceptions". If you have constructs from another C++ that don't compile in SC++, then either there's a bug in SC++ or the original C++ had a non-ANSI language extension. Regards, Robin
