In article 6957, Chris Lozinski presents an overview of
his reasons for selecting Objective-C versus C++, etc...


Being a Smalltalk V/PM, and Actor developer, I am
seeking the best alternative for a 'C' based
object-oriented hybird system like C++, or Objective-C.

From what I have read, and from the article chris wrote,
it seems that Objective-C is definetely for me.

My question is, 

IS THERE AN OBJECTIVE-C COMPILER THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH
THE WINDOWS SDK 3.0?

I have recently ordered ZTC++ and I intend to order the
CNS C++/Views.  However, if anyone is aware of an Objective-C
equivalent - PLEASE LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY - I WOULD REALLY
APPRECIATE ANY INFO ON THIS.

I have worked with Complete-C, which is similar in its message
passing (selector) methods as Objective-C. However, Complete-C
is shareware, and it is far from being a professional system, or
compatible with WinSDK.

Again, I agree that for many Smalltalk or OOPS oriented 
individuals, Objective-C is the best choice.  I would appreciate
any info on DOS or OS/2 based systems...
