- Indeed, I routinely use the old Sun C++ 4.0.1 for SunOS 4.x porting
- and the new Sun C++ 4.1 for development on Sol 2.x. However, I haven't
- tried the raw HP code; instead, I use Object Space's STL<Toolkit> and
- Systems<Toolkit>. In term of falling behind, that may be true in C++
- when the version cutoff of various companies aren't quite in sync with
- the latest draft revisions; but that's a property of C+ not being ANSI
- yet. However, feature-for-feature, I'd be surprised to find a PC
- compiler that won't choke on what the brave and trusty Sun C++ 4.1
- does.
