- OK, so if I understand correctly, the difference between the 2.x and 3.x
- compilers is that they generate better R4000 code, but there is nothing
- wrong with using the 2.x compilers (?) I'm a bit leary of putting the 3.x
- compilers on - reference recent posting about C++ bug. BTW, is there any
- easy way to run both simultaneousely?
-
- WRT C++, what version of AT&T cfront/etc. is the 3.10 release based upon?
- If not AT&TC++3.0, is there any timetable when that will become available?

- Mucho Thanx,
