During a recent techincal meeting at our company, we decided that
we should look into the new programming languages C++ or Objective C
as an alternative to C.  Unfortunately, none of us here at Methodsworks
have any experience with either of the languages, so we are very interested
about other people's experiences.

If you could send us any information, tips, experiences with either
C++ or Objective C we would be in your debt.  We are especially
interested in the following (which is everything):

	o Why did you choose C++ or Objective C?
		- If your choice was derived from a comparison of
		  the two languages then why did you choose the
		  one you did?

	o How well do C++ and Objective C programs port?
		- What machines have these languages available on?
		- How difficult is it to port the language to a machine?
		  (It doesn't have to be another Unix machine)

	o What type applications are you writing with C++ or Obj. C?
		- Are your expectations of the lang. being met?

	o What type of applications would you prefer to use C++ and/or
	  Objective C for? (eg. maybe C++ for database and Obj. C for
	  user interfaces)

	o What problems (eg. implementation, overhead) have you found with
	  either lang?


Could you please mail your responses to:
	...!{utzoo!mnetor!genat!maccs,watmath}!methods!peter

We shall definitely post a summary of the responses that we received
to comp.lang.c++.

Many thanks in advance.
