- The only such utility I know of is AT&T's 'cfront'. Before the days
- of native C++ compilers, 'cfront' was built to convert C++ code to be
- fed into a C compiler.
-
- Where to get a version, I don't know. AFAIK, you have to get a
- license for it from AT&T, but maybe that's just if you're going to be
- building a version for a particular h/w-OS platform.
-
- Of course, it's likely that a freeware or shareware version of
- 'cfront' (or its equivalent) has been created already.
