Hand conversion. At first sight it actually looked like C code but the
more you dug in the more C++ stuff came up. Nothing too complicated
however.

I've never really programmed C on the QL before, just Basic an
assembler. But nowadays I do C for a living and thus had my first real
look at C68 and must say you did a pretty remarkable job with it! My
biggest grievances actually were the lack of C++ style comments and
the way the distribution is packed. I think a ready-to-run .WIN file
might make a huge improvement there. Oh yeah, and ditching Quill for
documentation, but there I converted all files to PDFs for easier
viewing.

Yeah, I don't think it's worth the effort, anyhow. Most C++ stuff
tends to be so complicated that it would probably be hard to port in
any case.
