I like Convexen, however I was told by a support organization that they
didn't have time for C++. We were offered the privelege of being a beta
site and free software! Sighhhh, after a very depressing meeting I was
told no one had time to install v8.0 of the O.S. which was required. I think
it arrived about a week ago. Believe me I made every effort, including
asking to do it myself! I even ported C++ 1.2 translator to the Convex way
back when we first got it! 

But now the question.. will they or won't they? Will Convex be doing a
real compiler or will they just stick with the translator? Will they
be doing anything at all.
