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.
