Hi:
On page 146 (chpt. 8: Programming with the NIH Container Classes) of the book
Data Abstraction And Object Oriented Programming in C++, an example is given
for the "isKindOf()" function as follows :

Point p(0,1);
if (p.isKindOf(*Point::desc()))  .... YES
if (p.isKindOf(*Object::desc())) ....  NO
...

Shouldn't the last line say YES (or return TRUE), since Point is derived
from Object ?

Thanks,
Chetan
