Dear Sirs,

I'm teaching C++ in "Transilvania" Univ. of Brasov, Romania. The freedom
promoted by FSF is a great opportunity to use top quality software. I plan
for the spring semester to switch from Borland dictatorship to GNU freedom.
But I have no online access on the Internet. So, I would like to kindly ask
you some information:

a) Is there a GNU C++ compiler supporting templates and exception handling
(throw/catch mechanism) as Bjarne Stroustrup defines in his book "The C++
Programming Language", Second Edition (1991/1992)?

If yes, then

b1) What is the version number of this compiler, and the ftp site where it
can be found?

If the a)'s answer is NO, then
b2) When can we expect to work with templates & exception handling in a GNU C++
compiler?


Yours sincerely,

Ilie Garbacea
