I wonder if C for CP/M was so simple too? And, aren't there at least two C compilers for Sam? I think SAM-C is derived from Small-C that goes way back to Dr Dobb's Journal in the late 70's. Was the Sam version a re-write or a port? Andy

Templates, classes, inheritance or at least usage of virtual methods is very strong tool for programmers. Of course, you can do anything like this better or less in C or asm, but if you are familiar with the theory of OOP, you have no reason to not use C++. Agreed. When I'm trying to write
