Re: Unix Compilers

["slick willy" <elskorcho@earthlink.net>]

since when does the GNU C++ compiler not accept .cpp extensions?

--Bill
P.S. are c++ and g++ actually the same program? on our unix machines at
school they are actually two separate executables. it would seem like one
would be a symlink to the other if they were actually invoking the same
compiler.
