get the GNU c++ compiler from the Free Software Foundation. It's
probably available from any of the usual shareware/freeware
download locations.
You could also subscribe to the UseNet newsgroup comp.lang.c++
and find their FAQ. Without looking, I will bet it will have
the instructions for how to get GNU C++ and other GNU software.
Most of their "stuff" has been written for Unix in the past,
but much of it has been ported now. It is high quality
software, especially for free. A lot of commercial software for
Unix is developed using GNU c++, that's how good it is.
In my experience, it has a particularly strong following among
Sun workstation users.

P.S. I'm surprised any ??.alum.mit.edu was not aware of the
Free Software Foundation. :-)
