 #13.2 (2) by Luther Huffman (luther), on Sat Jun 30 07:15:43 1990:
    Is Weinstein's OOF based on Pountain's ideas?  Do you know whether an OOF
  has been ever implemented as a compiler or are they all implemented as
  interpreters?

 Response by Gary Smith:
 To my best knowledge (often suspect) there are no compiler implementations
 >of OOF.
 >Dave's OOF is more akin to SmallTalk than to Ada. He has full object and
 >message support, inheritance... etc. The revised version is not out, but
 >I believe it will be quite impressive. Those who read 'THe Computer Journal'
 >have been able to follow Dave's plans in print, in his Forth column. TCJ
 >is probably the last true grass roots Computer Magazine around since the
 >death of 'MicroCornucopia' last year.
