Well Malcolm, you can disagree, but I don't know of any C++
implementations for UNICOS. Really. Trust me.
 
I take it as a complement that you forgot I was sitting next to you at
the last Cray C Advisory Board meeting in May. I distinctly recall
(and have it in my notes) that Cray asked for feedback on C++. We all
agreed that "since there are many problems associated with C++, the
best move would be to wait." Given this, I think it is fair to say it
won't be coming out anytime soon.
