Unfortunately, Cray has appears to have made the decision not to
port the new C++ programming environment to the T3D.  This is very bad
for users of Cray Systems, because of the very many problems
attendant with the Cfront base compiler.  I would have thought that
Cray management would respond to pressure from their large and
vocal user communities.

This probably would not be successful.  C++ requires run-time support
which is system dependent.  Alpha gcc/g++ compilers will probably have
support for osf1 or vms systems.
