Message-ID: <247@unix.SRI.COM> Date: 20 Jun 89 17:55:23 GMT Reply-To: sri.unix.com!orawest!brian Distribution: na Organization: SRI International, Menlo Park, CA Lines: 11 Can anyone compare and contrast the new object oriented pascals just released by Microsoft and Borland for PCs? Although 10-15 years behind technology, mass market products often stir the creative pot and bring perspective to academic discussions. I know there are some significant differences (early and late binding) and some substantial style diffs (Apple Classcal flavor vs. C++ flavor). Can someone please offer concrete criticism of either compiler (or both)? -- B< Brian Kahn unix.sri.com!orawest!brian odyssey@unix.sri.com
