Productivity Products Inc. is porting Objective C to Mac using Aztec C as 
the target compiler (Objective C is a pre-processor).  Unfortunately, 
some people in the company do not want to release a product because
they believe there is little market.  

The basic technical work will 'be done in a few weeks'.  I would like to 
have Objective C on the Mac.  If you would too, write or call

Objective C is a preprocessor for C that adds the SMALLTALK constructs 
object, message, and inheritance to C.  All of C is available to
the Objective C user, as well as much of SMALLTALK.  This style of
programming, called object programming, is very nice.  I would hate to 
go back to functions and data structures.  If there is interest, I will
elaborate on what Objective C does.  For now, I'll just say that it
revolutionized my C programming ...
