I took this last semester( spring ).
Downing will make you do stuff like
# include < iostream> // note the missing .h , he wants it that way
// doesnt work too well in g++
I did use egcs packaged with my rh 5.2 and the problem that I ran into
was using templating. egcs ( with 5.2 ) would go nuts at times. Although I
hate to be the harbinger of bad news, but he may make everyone pair up and
submit joint projects.He did that with us ( due to Ta overload ).In such a
case you will have to find a linux user in your discussion section.Just my
two cents
