Hello Todd & Steve,
I just returned from travel and saw your e-mails. I will be happy to
make adjustments to the blitz configure system to support the Sun C++
compiler. We just need to edit the autoconf macro that determines which
C++ compiler is being used and add a case that looks for __SUNPRO_CC.
Thanks for the info on downloading the trial version of the compiler. I
believe there is a version of it for Linux boxes also, right? I've been
meaning to try it out anyway for a few months now. Someone else wrote
in a while back asking about Sun support, so I will get this fixed in
the blitz cvs repository shortly.
Regards, Julian C.
