- Well, the GNU C++ complier (GCC) is available (is it freeware/shareware or
- what?) on many FTP sites, amongst them are wuarchive (I think :-). The
- question isn't really (or shouldn't be) how compliant it is to the PC
- compilers, but rather its compliancy with ANSI or other standards (I don't
- know whether there are any standards for C++ yet, though). Most C++-specific
- features such as classes, virtual member functions, multiple inheritance and
- perhaps streams should be fairly standard among the different compilers. We
- use TC++ 3.0 over here, with BC++ to be installed soon, and I'll tell you
- it's a beauty :-P Why aren't there any decent integrated editor/compiler/
- linker/debugger applications for the Amiga? When you've used Borland's
- products you get a little spoilt, I know, but if we're to expect truly
- professional applications for the Amiga, then we deserve the tools to create
- them.
