I am waiting for my 400mb slab to be delivered (yet another delay -
sigh.  And I do *wish* the reps would return my phone calls).  In the 
meantime, I'm trying to get prepared so that I can begin coding as 
soon as it arrives.

I have about 2000 lines of C++ code written using GNU's g++
compiler.  I'm expecting that code to move right over.  But future
coding should be in Objective-C in order to take advantage of the
machine's software.  My question is this - how freely can C++
and Objective-C be mixed using the new compiler?  Must each
module be distinctly one or the other?  Is there any reason
not to continue coding in C++ while I'm waiting?

Thanks a lot!
Anne
