Yes, it seems that there have been many improvements in ansi
compliance in cxx 6.1. I used to make sure that 6.0 works, but now
that 6.1 is installed here, that's my new reference. I never tried
6.2, but it should work too.

Are you able to compile C or C++ prgrams with your gcc?

That's very strange...

This should not make a difference.

This one is normal.

Well, I do not know what to say here. All I know is that gcc 2.8.1 and
cxx 6.1 work on digital unix 4.0.

You're welcome :)
