Any Unix platform for which a port of the GNU compiler and tools exists is capable of supporting C, C++, and any other tools and languages that are a part of the GNU project. It's simply a question of locating the appropriate sources, downloading them, configuring them for your target machine, and building them. The available features would be whatever is in the versions of the packages that you downloaded. The main download site for all GNU software is ftp://ftp.gnu.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/, but there are many mirror sites. If your Unix system has gcc (the GNU C compiler) installed, then it may also have GNU C++ installed. To test this, try using 'g++' to compile a program. Most Unix systems come with proprietary C/C++ compilers; look in your system man pages to learn more about them. Please note that this is not an appropriate topic for this newsgroup, which is specifically named comp.os.MSDOS.djgpp. There are many better places to learn about Unix compilers. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
