Fernando...
Glockenspiel's isn't a true compiler, but is a port of AT&T's Cfront, the
original C++ to C translator. Cfront development pretty much ended with the
era of true C++ compilers, so it's really obsolete.
Zortech was bought out by Symantec. Any Zortech code you have should
compile with little or no difficulty using the current Symantec C++ compiler.
I use Zortech C++ all the time as my DOS C compiler of choice. While it's a
great C compiler, it has long since been eclipsed as a C++ compiler by other
vendors.
Presuming from your message that you have some code written to be compiled
using either Glockenspiel or Zortech, your only problem using Symantec C++
might be your target operating environment. The most recent version primarily
targets Win95/NT, whereas the older Zortech compiler targeted Win3.1, DOS,
and OS/2 1.x.

Both were commercial products, so don't expect to see any legal ftp or
download sites.
