That's certainly possible, but so far no one has been able to show me what. It's also important to differentiate between the two common meanings of OO. One means "object oriented", as in OOD. The other means "implemented using inheritance and dispatching", as in OOP. Obviously, there is nothing inherently object oriented about the latter, and I have seen plenty of "OO" code that had nothing object oriented about it. -- Jeff Carter "Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time."
