You are right on most points, but I don't think that was what Jon
ment.  In THINK C 3.x and 4.0 you can write code resources with
globals without the need of anything like "MakeA5World" described in
TN 256 (THINK C uses A4).  In 4.0 you can also write segmented code
resources and you can do them object-oriented.  How do you do that in
MPW? As fas as I know, MPW C++ and Object Pascal can only be used for
applications...

THINK C 4.0 has a check box named "Merge" that you can use when you
save your resource. No needs for ResEdit anymore...
