I received a voicemail message from Don VanLeuven, a salesperson for Meiko
here in the US, in which he said that Meiko does NOT offer a C++ compiler
for the transputer, but that he had seen a customer use a C++ preprocessor
to produce C source that one of the C compilers for the transputer could
choke down.  Could it be that this is what you saw?  Or is it possible 
that Meiko merely hasn't taken the wraps off a shiny new C++ compiler?
I'd greatly appreciate any information that might clarify this.

Well the story is...

I was at a conference and Meiko were going to use some of our programs as
demos. Unfortunately they didn't have a spare Sun so they borrowed on (from
Sun) and brought a tape with them.

++Unfortunately neither of the Meiko dudes had ever installed their own
software on a sun before and as soon as they saw me asked if I would do it...

To cut a (very) lonag story (well it certainly seemed long) short on the
tape I extracted from there was a "c++" directory. This was a tape from Meiko.
I didn't look into the directory as there were plenty of other problems to
solve and I'm not familliar with c++.

So there you go.

BTW don't many c++ "compilers" act as a pre-processor and spew out "standard"
C into the normal C compiler (it's just what I heard) ?
