?? you mean compilers, not program results (doesnt matter WHAT language
the code was written in, if its an Amiga executable it'll run ;-)

C++ is supported by a few compilers, eg StormC4, GCC.
there was an experimental SAS/C that could do C++ for 68k, but thats no
longer supported. vbcc is starting to stretch its C++ legs (it can handle
a few C++ things)

err, correct! the 'c++ not supported' that you've picked up on is SOLELY
about whether you can actually compile c++ source code...not about how you
can run any program after its compiled.
