I'm actually a bit surprised it isn't, since C++ is so popular. It would certainly make life easier for a lot of people. G++ has been broken on the CS server at my school for over a year (so DEC's cxx is used, and g++ just sits there taking up space...), and I know there are other cases. _Why_ it hasn't simply been recompiled, I don't know. I've been meaning to inquire, but it keeps slipping my mind... Larry
