Ok, I'll expand:

I've seen some rumours that there will be a C++ compiler available when
MPW 3.0 hits the streets sometime during 1st quarter. (?)  The rumours
also mentioned ongoing work to port MacApp to C++.


The rumours said nothing about whether this would be a complete C++,
or not (some kind of stripped down version ?).


If the above indeed *is* true (with a complete C++), then I see no
reason *not* to impatiently wait for MPW 3.0, and then quickly sell
my dog to *get it* !


:-)


Please enlighten me.
