The simula developers did not use the term "Object oriented" though. I think (but is sure) that the Smalltalk developers did that. Smalltalk was developed in the seventies and the current version was finished in 1980. BTW, Simula was my first programing language. The University of Bergen, Norway used it as the first programing language until 96. Then it became too difficult to port the simula compiler to new architectures. As far as I know, the Simula langage is dead by now. After Simula, java took over the role as a first programming language. -- Gisle S�lensminde ( gisle@ii.uib.no ) With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. (from RFC 1925)
