  1. kai  (http://www.kai.com)  2. comeaucomputing
(http://www.comeaucomputing.com)
  3. I'm not remember, but was.

How many users: Of course, I don't know. But problem not
in this, but in existense.



I now buy in comeaucomputing compiler for SCO, and I was
have tolk with them about FreeBSD platform.

I'm interesting in cooperating from somebody of FreeBSD
users in creating FreeBSD version of Comeau C++.

Free time of volunteers is slowing factor.

We can have --FreeBSD-ports collection and bazzar-style
set of links for FreeBSD applications. Becouse attempt
to track *all* software which run on FreeBSD is in
principle impossible.

More: I think that we *must* have the bazzar style set of
links.
