Simula The SIMULA programming language was designed and built by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard at the Norwegian Computing Center (NCC) in Oslo between 1962 and 1967. It was originally designed and implemented as a language for discrete event simulation, but was later expended and reimplemented as a full sacle general purpose programming language. [...] Although SIMULA is an extension of the programming language ALGOL 60, it is not a true extension of it. SIMULA retains the spirit of ALGOL 60 and includes that language as a subset, except for some minor exceptions. [...] Although SIMULA never became widely used, the language has been highly influential on modern programming methodololy. Among other things SIMULA introduced important Object-Oriented programming concepts like classes and objects, inheretance and dynamic binding. taken from: http://www.engin.umd.umich.edu/CIS/course.des/cis400/simula/simula.html Preben Randhol -- () Join the worldwide campaign to protect fundamental human rights.
