We spent a month trying to solve problems with g++ and finally gave up. Presumably we could have paid money to Cygnus to solve it for us - but it was cheaper and took less time to buy a commercial C++ compiler, take the resulting C code and port *that* to the machine. -- Alfalfa Software, Inc. | Poste: The EMail for Unix nazgul@alfalfa.com | Send Anything...
