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. > >Let me know if you need more info. > >Matt > >-------------------------------------------------------------------- >Matthew Heaney >Software Development Consultant > >(818) 985-1271 Take care, Jay O'Connor joconnor@jmpstart.com http://www.jmpstart.com 31 Hertz
