I just finished reading the BMUG minutes for their System Seven
demonstration at the end of January, and I must say that I'm very
impressed!  It looks like Apple is going to great lengths to make
their operating system as clean as possible.

When will the C++ code for the interface be released to programmers?
Object-oriented routines for windows, sounds, colors, and all that
jazz -- it wouldn't be a very interesting machine if the rest of the
world had to stick to C or (ugh!) Pascal.

Are Apple's C++ libraries [going to be] similar to what we already
have in THINK's Lightspeed C version 4?  If so, that would make life
much easier!

Thanks for any and all info.
