I'd like to port C++ to our PC/XT.  Has anybody already done this?  Are
there particular things I should look out for?  Is it a lot of work?

There was a note on the net suggesting that Lattice C was more
appropriate than Microsoft because of problems with struct assignment;
this seems strange because my Lattice (2.14) compiler doesn't even have
struct assignment while my Microsoft (3.0) has!

I expect that the limit of 31 characters for identifiers could be a
problem, given the long names C++ generates; what are the experiences
with this?

Please reply by mail; I'll summarize if I get any useful responses.
