I can't help with the second question, but as for the first: I bought a version of CFRONT 1.2 from Comeau Computing a while back, and it works fine. I've never found anything that I could compile with other ports of CFRONT (like DOS or OS/2) that didn't also work under Microport V/AT. It cost $250, and is available on just about any PC version of UNIX, including XENIX, System V/AT and the 386 machines. I know they're working on a 2.0 port, but I don't know when it will be available. Their address is: Comeau Computing 91-34 120th Street Richmond Hill, NY 11418 (718) 849-2355 I'm not affiliated with them, just a satisfied customer. -- Mike Young Software Development Technologies, Inc., Sudbury MA Tel: +1 508 443 5779 Internet: mjy@sdti.sdti.com UUCP: {harvard,mit-eddie}!sdti!mjy
