Compilers for the C++ language are now emerging, and at this month’s Software Tools ’88 exhibition at Wembley in London, Oregon Software’s UK distributor Real Time Products announced the availability of the US company’s C++ compiler on Sun-3 workstations. A true compiler rather than a translator into C source code, the product is also said to be a K&R- and ANSI compatible C compiler. The current version is shipping with a beta test version of a symbolic debugger: Real Time promises the next version will be accompanied by a full release of the debugger. Oregon Software, which is based in Portland, Oregon is best known for its Pascal-2 range of compilers; it recently also added a Modula-2 compiler. Birmingham-based Real Time Products prices Oregon C++ at UKP1,495 for use on a single user system, at UKP3,650 for up to five users attached to a single file server, and at UKP9,375 for those who want to support an unlimited number of users on a single file server.
