I know Chip didn't originate the statement that Objective-C is
available from only one vendor, so this is not a flame at Chip, but I
feel that I must reiterate (Chuck Noren are you listening? :-)):

Objective-C is available from:
	The Stepstone Corporation          1
	IBM                               +1
	NeXt                              +1
                                       -------

Objective-C is available (and supported by) three vendors (that I know of).
Not one.

Of course I have an axe to grind, I work for The Stepstone Corporation.
