I have two coupons from Borland.  One to upgrade to C++, the
other to upgrade my ancient-never-used copy of Turbo Pascal.
I'm a C bigot, so I will upgrade to C++, but I'm curious
about Turbo Pascal 5.5, in particular its object extensions.
How are these extensions similar/different to objects in
C++ and/or Smalltalk?  I'm interested in TP 5.5 if its
Object Oriented paradigm is sufficiently different from TC++.

Please answer by e-mail. If there is sufficient interest I'll
post a summary.
