"version of C++ that supports the ISO C++ standard" ?
I think you are confused here as to the distinction between C++, which is the 
language, and the various C++ language processor implementations (i.e. 
compilers), which have names such as "Microsoft Visual C++", "MetaWare High 
C++", "Watcom C++", and "Borland C++".  There is currently *no* C++ compiler 
for the PC platform that provides a complete implementation of the Standard 
C++ language (There isn't even, strictly speaking, an ISO C++ Standard yet.). 
 However, I am told that Watcom C++ 11.0 is the nearest at the moment.
If your vehement prohibition against Microsoft Visual C++ really means "I 
don't want a C++ compiler that only targets Windows.", then I suggest that 
you take a look at Watcom C++ 11.0.  It can be run on DOS, DOS+Windows 3.1, 
DOS+Windows 95, Windows NT, or OS/2 Warp, and can be used to build 16-bit 
DOS, 32-bit DOS extended, Win16, Win32, 16-bit OS/2, or 32-bit OS/2 programs.
