Norm,

Perhaps Colin is right (gasp).  Afterall, from his diligence in posting 
to c.l.a to remove a discussion of OO from comp.lang.eiffel I can infer that 
either 1) Eiffel has nothing to due to with OOT ; or 2) CJIII has nothing 
to do with OOT; or 3) CJII wants nothing to due with OOT; or 4) CJII 
knows nothing about OOT and prefers to keep it that way ;-) 

Dave

p.s. I still waiting for the local Book Stop to get you new book.  Yes, 
this is a shameless plug (plead) to someone of influence to use said 
influence so I _can_get_a_copy_ of the book_! :-).
