We have also made preliminary tests with DEC's cxx compiler,
version 6.0, on a OSF1 V4.0 system. This compiler seems to be
rather conformant and discovered a number of places where we

drawback was that version 6.0 of the compiler did not yet know
about the standard C++ headers <code>cmath</code>,
<code>cstdlib</code>, etc, which are included instead of
