- I read something about this recently that explained the reason for needing
- MPW C++ to run GNU G++. Apparently, G++ does not have its own class libraries,
- or maybe it was missing C-Front (pardon my lack of concise-ness here, I'm
- just starting down the C++ path). In any case, G++ does not use MPW's C++
- compiler, only it's class libraries.
