(Sorry to broadcast so widely, but...)

Hi. Being the happy owner of an Acorn Archimedes, but also getting
interested in object-oriented program, I'm in sort of a dilemna. Acorn
doesn't seem to have any solid plans of doing a C++ for the Archimedes
(and unfortunately, since I'm on *this* side of the Atlantic, I can't
get to where they pointed me to look :-(

So...

Does anyone know of any status of porting g++ to the Archimedes? Can I
send someone diskettes to get it? Is there a commercial-type C++ designed
around the Archimedes (and thus handling it's kinda-odd OS better)? 

Please email responses to me (if possible); any sort of leads/information 
would be *greatly* appreciated!

Thanks,
Roger Espinosa
