We were not aware of the situation being so dire as per above.
You may want to consider Comeau C++ 4.0 Pre-release.
It is very up to date and is being offered for $50.
It's main limitation is a lack of standard library, however
this is exactly what RW is offering.
You may want to check out our web page for what we have available.
