Hi,
  Before I upgrade to FreeBSD, I used to do my project on 386bsd with
ISODE-8.0, NIST Estelle tools called PET and DINGO which is compiled with
g++-1.39 (the only OFFICIAL ported version, ie not available officially
in g++-2.x). Now that I have migrated to FreeBSD, and I will like to keep
most of the work for improvement and etc. 

  I just wonder if there exists a g++-1.39 ready for installed ? I looked
into /.1/FreeBSD/packages, and only managed to find gcc1_* stuff, and there
doesn't seem to have old *.h files for g++-1.39. Since PET and DINGO are
initially written and compiled before C++ version 2 exists, some new
changes in *.h files in g++-2.x are not usable, ie I need one that is
ported and tested to be coexisting well with existing version. I just like
to know if there is such a port, otherwise, I will ftp one and do the port
myself. Since there is a gcc1 port for FreeBSD, so I thought for g++-1.39
will be just trivial for you guys who have done the port. I got the gcc1*
stuff from freebsd, but there is a README file saying that gcc1 doesn't
coexist well with the default FreeBSD gcc2. I just wonder if someone can
explain to me a bit on this. I assume I only need to do 'make install'
to get the gcc1 installed, right ?

  Secondly, ISODE package seems to be disappear from FreeBSD, I jut wonder
if anyone has a tested port (perhaps with right patch) on FreeBSD ? I used
to hacked it to work on 386bsd with some assistance from another guy, but
now I am more interested in a more stable one, just wonder if anyone has done
this ? Also, I am not sure if there exists one ISODE that with all routines
declared with ANSI prototype style (perhaps I should post it to 
comp.protocols.iso.dev-environ later).

  But basically, those are just the 2 things I am looking for apart from
TeX package.

  Thanks in advance and email replies please!
