[ Why hello there ... ]

Thanks to all of you who sent me the info on Object Oriented Programming
Languages. The following is summary of the responses.

	Language	description

	XLISP		A subset of lisp with object oriented extensions.
			It was destributed on the net a month ago or
			so, it is free to the public.

	Flavors		A package for Franz lisp that adds object oriented
			extentions. Franz lisp is usually destributed as
			part of the BSD packages. Flavors is availible
			from the U. of Maryland for $100.00. Contact Liz
			Allen.

	LOOPS		A package for Interlisp on Xerox lisp machines.
			It supports OOP, Logic programming, and Functional 
			prog. For info write to : Mary Hausladen, Xerox PARC,
			3333 Coyote Hill Rd, Palo Alto, CA.

	ACT I		A creation of the MIT AI labs. It has actors (objects),
			scripts (methods) and acquaintences (class). I have
			seen a few articles in a digital music magazine 
			published by the MIT press that refer to the ACTORS
			system. 

	Objective-C	A preprocessor for the 'C' language that allows a 
			sort of object oriented style of programming. 
			No information on availability or functionality.

	Clascal		A version of Pascal developed by Apple for writing
			software for the Mac and Lisa. It may have object
			oriented extentions, but again there is little 
			information available.

	Mandala		A 5th generation Japanese knownedge representation
			langauge. It combines features of Loops and Smalltalk
			into concurrent Prolog on top of Prolog. Information
			is available in an ICOT technical report. (no issue
			given)

	Smalltalk	An object oriented language from Xerox. It includes
			Objects, Classes, and Messages. Available on systems
			from Xerox and maybe some day on the Lisa or Mac.
			There are several magazine articles, especially
			one issue of BYTE, and three books of information
			on Smalltalk.


This list represents the names of all the object oriented systems that came
back in the responses. For most, the information presented here is all that I
have and I have tried to give the name and address of someone to contact
for more. DISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility for the correctness of this
information.

The remainder of this article is a small list is references.
