It would appear that some people do not know we provide C++ for
transputers so here is a mini update:
 
 
C++ Part Numbers:
=================
 
The part numbers for the C++ translator (C++ 2.0 currently) are:
 
	IMS D4217  -  Sun4
	IMS D5217  -  Sun3
	IMS D6217  -  VAX/VMS
	IMS D7217  -  PC/DOS
 
Note that you will also need to have the INMOS ANSI C compiler as well
(change the 7 in the above to get their product numbers: eg. D4214 for
a Sun 4).
 
 
Errata Sheet
============
 
An updated errata sheet is now in the field although new orders will
still come with the old errata sheet - the new one is dated August 1991
and has revision 1 on the front.   
 
New Bug Found
=============
 
A new bug to add to the next errata sheet is concerned with using the
new function with an array of objects to be created:
 
eg.
	class car { ... };
	car*	showroom;
 
	showroom = new (car[10]);	//  <===  offending line
 
 
This will generate the following error from icc:
 
Error-icc-c.c(nn)- <function argument>: implicit cast of pointer to
                   non-equal pointer
 
 
The current field fix to to use the EC option to icc - this can be used
on the iccxx command line (it passes it though to icc).
 
eg.	On a Sun, use:
 
		iccxx prog.cxx -ec
