Hay pete,

I don't know about pure virtual functions, I try avoiding the C++ overheads but
I would be very surprised if it didn't support it.

And I don't use new/delete either, search the newsgroups and NY sites for info
on how to get new and delete
working.

Try my libsngcc.a in a file call setup.zip from my NY site at
 http://www.netyaroze-europe.com/~mgarcia

it's my libps.a + libsngcc.a in one. It's a bit of a hack though.

Good luck
~mgarcia
