I have version 1.02, ... I, too, was displeased with the original release of Zortech C++. I wasn't sure whether they were a small outfit that had made some mistakes, or a mail-fraud operation. I was thinking of flaming them real good, but I decided to wait and see what happened (the volume of messages on Usenet would be cut in half by following that policy!). Also, Noel Bergman of Philadelphia told me that Zortech and Walter Bright were good guys. I'm happy to report that Zortech just mailed me C++ 1.05 free of charge, and it works fine! I have been typing in the programming examples from Bjarne's book, and I got up to page 108 last night: all the programs worked. Nice work, Walter, Bjorn, etc. Zortech C++ looks like a winner. -- Bill Hutchison, DP Consultant rutgers!cbmvax!burdvax!Grumpy!wgh Unisys UNIX Portation Center "What one fool can do, another can!"
