Actually, using a modern machine and a modern language is another solution :) It's just a hobby project, so I thought I'd look into the options of using C++. I have an old 386 and it would be fun to have a reason to do some low level assembly stuff again.

It seems like my best option with the C++ route would be to settle for C++98. Doesn't seem all that bad since I've gotten a feeling that one really ought to know the old stuff to understand the reasoning behind C++11.

Thanks guys.
