Even though I know Metroworks has "unofficial" patches to allow
C++ on the Yaroze, you would still be popular (at least with ME! :-)
if you got the GNU C++ compiler working.  I prefer the DOS build
environment.  (Well, with the proper "extras" it's actually
somewhat Unix-like, which is what I actually like.)

I downloaded the GNU source, but have not yet tried building it,
let alone building the C++ part.

How about you and I have a race!  (I bet you win ;-)
