the problem w/ running g++ on a 386/sysV platform seems to be more
realted to libg++ than to g++ itself.  g++ works quite well.  for
example, i just ported the stanford Interviews package to my 386/ix 2.0.1
system w/ very little problems.

Interviews is a c++ object oriented library that allows you to do
nifty graphical things under X11.  it is worth getting interviews
if only for the interactive drawing program called idraw that comes
w/ the distribution.
