Amazingly enough, word hasn't spread.  Until now, our entire organization
believed that SUN had no plans to release a SunOS version of the
version 4 compiler.  I stand corrected, and apologize to Mike Ball and
the SUN C++ compiler team.  I should have waited for Mike to post an
authoritative response.

BTW, the Sun 4.0.1 C++ compiler is very good, and I have been waiting
anxiously for all our clients to install Solaris so I could use it.

That is not correct.  Version 4.0.1 runs under SunOs.  Of course it's only
been available for a year, so the word may not have spread.

No, it's not really true, as I have already said in another post.

That is correct; Sun does not supply any standard libraries with
the version 3 (cfront) compiler, and no later version will run
under SunOS.

No, it's really true.  You could use libg++ for free, or get a license
for RogueWave Tools.h++.  Sun supplies Tools.h++ with the version 4
compiler, and 4.1 will also support the STL.

Huh?  4.0.1 is supported on SunOS.  Comes with Tools.H++, as you say.

I currently use Borland's BC4.5 compiler.  I have a need to
port some programs onto a SUN OS system using SUN's C++ compiler.

I don't know which version of the Sun compiler you have, but all recent versions
(C++4.0 and up) include the entire RogueWave library, which definately has a
string class.

If you don't have version C++4.0.1, I suggest that you rush out and buy it
immediately, as your life will be enormously improved. :-)
