(?) The rumours >also mentioned ongoing work to port MacApp to C++. I don't know about the date, but there is a C++ compiler in development. This is a port of the standard AT&T CFront, with some extensions to support the Mac. (Apple has defined a subset of C++, which would be the minimal feature set necessary to use MacApp; our compiler, however, will implement the full C++.) MacApp is not being ported to C++. C++ is being made compatible with Object Pascal. C++ users will link with a pre-compiled version of MacApp. You will also be able to use C++ to subclass classes written in Object Pascal, and vice versa. -- Larry Rosenstein Object Specialist Apple Computer AppleLink: Rosenstein1 UUCP: {sun, voder, nsc}!apple!lsr CSNET: lsr@Apple.com
