	I haven't actually used it, but Comeau is apparently an
industry standard on many platforms. It requires SAS/C (purchased
separately) and costs $250 or $275, I forget which. It uses
cfront 2.1, so it translated from c++ to c and then compiles.
However, despite this you can use cpr to debug the C++ source
code. 
	It is available now, but this has just started a few
weeks ago. You probably won't find it in dealers because they
aren't giving significant discounts. Ads I would imagine will
start appearing ASAP.
	I don't know the address, but they are in Queens, NY.
