I received this reply:

% From: Luke Whitaker <uunet!cs.city.ac.uk!luke@watmath>
% 
% There is a good article by Craig Renfrew and Jon Malone called "A comparison 
% of Objective-C and C++" in the proceedings of the summer '89 technical 
% meeting of the UKUUG. (UKUUG = United Kingdom Unix User Group).
% 
% To precis the precis, "It is found that C++ is more efficient but Objective-C
% has a more rational approach to object types".
% 
% I have a postal address only for Craig Renfrew of Dept of Computer Science,
% Strathclyde university, 26 Richmond St, Livingston Tower, Glasgow, G1 1XH,
% Scotland, UK.

% Hope this helps,
