I am glad that we agree that Ada (and Modula-2) are not object-oriented.
I suppose that this was a major thrust of my flame about the book,
mainly because more and more people are both using Ada and are hearing
the object-oriented buzzwords, and then think that they are programming
in an object-oriented manner.

I personally do NOT entirely agree with Wegner, but I DO think that it
would be nice if we all shared a few common definitions of these terms,
so that the incoming masses to object-oriented programming will get a
clearer understanding of what the heck it all means...

Which is what I am STILL trying to do myself...  Thanks for your
comments.
