	I agree. The reason why I was so hard on CommonView is I don't
like reading C++ code! I'm still waiting to get my hands on C_Talk.
From what I can tell from the C_Talk adds, the syntax is simpler but a lot
more Mickey Mouse than C++. C_Talk advertizes a small talk like environment
with a browser and other stuff. C_Talk is probably not as powerfull as C++
(only a guess) but it looks like they have written a more usable class tree
from the examples in the adds.

	If your head was turned by the predudice of my first posting, don't
worry. I just did that to get your attention. My main complaint with
CommonView is the lack of readability compiled OOPS languages have so far.
I wish the CommonView people well, from what I can tell this product is
relatively new so a lot of stuff will probably be ironed out.
