If you are referring to the comparison at
http://sw-eng.falls-church.va.us/AdaIC/docs/flyers/95cplus.shtml, I'm
not sure what good this would do in an OO comparsion between Ada and
Smalltalk. If your are trying to extrapolate or draw a comparison
from C++ to Smalltalk, it's not vaild because C++ is not very similar
to Smalltalk. Especially in regards to many of the comparison made in
the document. C++ and Ada are completely separate languages, but they
have more in common with each other than Smalltalk does with either.
