RE: MacApp 3.0 in C++

It's true!  Steve Freidrich announced at the MacApp developer's
conference that his engineers (he's a higher level mgr of the
MacApp group) came to him and asked to convert MacApp to C++.
Apparently, they converted 2.0 (or whatever the latest version)
in just 2 weeks.  Since then, all development effort has been in
C++.  There were some serious disussions about the future of Pascal
(see below) but nothing concrete was decided - they're sticking to
C++.

Understandably, guys like David Neal @ Symantec and Stever Jasik (the
Debugger) were a little peaved.  Even some people at Apple are not
happy with the decision (someone was passing out C++ barf bags).

Oh well, we'll see...
