	Hi, my name is Tony Philippsen.  I have recently decided to delve into the 
world of computer programming.  I have need of a C++ compiler for an online 
course in this language, and I was given your name as a source for a compiler. 
 Unfortunately, my knowledge in this area is nothing less than pathetic, and I 
am completely confused by your download page (not your fault).  The course 
requires a compiler that can "write to standard output", "it must support 
templates", and "must support exceptions".  I was wondering if yours met all 
of these criteria.  I read your "Read Me" file, and could not discern if your 
compiler met these requirements because I have no idea what they mean.  I 
would appreciate some help in answering these questions if you have the time.  
Also, if this compiler ( I don't even know what a compiler really is!) meets 
these requirements, I sure could use any help you would be willing to give me 
regarding downloading the proper files to my computer.  As I said, I was able 
to access your download area, but have no idea which files I need to insure a 
working compiler is installed at my end.  


			Please Help,
