Recently a large company made online versions of their word
processing and related products available. I guess they
were responding to another large company that already has
this sort of functionality online. More recently I read that Quicken
and other money management programs are
now available online.

It seems like C++ is falling behind the curve again in
this area. In 1977 Comeau debuted their "online
compiler." It was great at the time, but they haven't
done anything with it since. Surprisingly other compiler
vendors haven't even bothered to take similar steps. Are
any vendors planning to take the plunge any time soon?

They might not attempt to provide object code for
multiple platforms, but they could provide fully
instantiated source code that could be used as input
to a simpler, local compiler. That might require a
whole program assumption, but that isn't a problem
in most cases.

Not sure what you mean by "online compiler", but you can try out Comeau
online AFAIK.

A few years ago, SourceForge had a compile farm that you could use to
compile your opensource software for various platforms. That might still
exist. I haven't checked for a while.

I don't see what that would be good for.

I'm talking about a compiler that is designed to not exit after one
run, is
available online, and returns more than warnings.

It would help with portability. Generated code would either
be correct (on all platforms) or not.

It would also be easier to get updates to people that want them.

Given that C++ was developed in 1979 (and not even named "C++"
until 1983), I have hard time believing that.

Well, nobody said Comeau debuted a C++ compiler. :-)

To update this a little
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/to...cle2917414.ece
"We are just a few years away from the end of the shrink-wrapped
software business. By 2010, people will not be buying software,"

That's a quote from the article. I think there will still be
sales of shrink-wrapped software in 2010, but I agree with
the gist of it.

With today's fashion trends in women's clothing, it can take more effort to dress for success every day, than to get the job in the first place. When you're working every day, you have different roles. You may be meeting clients, or working at a desk, or going from the office to a business event.
