There seem to be many definitions floating around, and I want to gather a sample from the USENET community. So: if you think you have a clear idea of what object-oriented programming is, try to define it. A good definition should make it possible to determine when something ISN'T it as easily as when something IS, and should include only the essential concepts. Send mail; I will summarize when the flood ebbs.
