Hey Walter,
Welcome back.  Thanks, I thought no one was going to answer me for a second
there.  What do you know about a product called Comeau C++? What
improvements, if any, would it provide for DMC++. Is it something that you
would recommend to a student learner?

Thanks.
Andrew

Comeau C++ translates C++ code into C code, and there is a version of it
tuned to use DMC as a C compiler for the output. For what C++ features it
supports, I'll leave that to Greg Comeau to tell you!

P.S. Greg is a great guy.

Form what he has passed on to me and testing the beta on his website...I am
very impressed with the product.  But I'm new at this and just wanted a
second opinion from someone that I had spoken to before and that had a lot
more experience than I.

Thanks again.
Andrew

Unfortunately for me, I can't find a solution from Comeau
because Greg insists that my embedded microcontroller (8051)
which is Intel-ish is not usable with Comeau's C++ -> C translator.

Therefore I am still looking for a reasonable solution.
