Actually, I think quite a lot, on a fresh installation at least :)
C++ is actually not very common in the Linux/Unix camp. Almost *everything*
is written in C, because C was the original implementation language of
Unix. I think both were developed at the same time, maybe it's some sort of
"traditiona l" thing.

However, since the installation procedure of packages may completely differ
from one Unix to others, I don't think it's necessary to describe how to
install g++. The reader should know his system well enough to know how to
install packages.

Same for C then.... you're right, it's up to the vendor.

Sorry, I meant between C and C++.

Mac OS X does not come with a C++ compiler (or indeed any compilers)
installed by default. However, retail packages of OS X include an "XCode
Tools" CD that can be installed as an option. It includes a suite of
development tools including a C++ compiler (g++). Disk images of that CD
can also be downloaded for free from Apple's Web site.

Thanks to the good work of Stephan Brönnimann in converting Word to
HTML the document is now available in HTML format, at

HTML format: <url: http://home.no.net/dubjai/win32cpptut/html/>.

There's also a second part, about variables, but so far only in Word.

I'm having problems seeing my own messages, and if I'm looking at
other threads it seems some postings just get lost.
Is anybody experiencing similar problems when posting via Google?
