I'm looking for any information that anyone can give me on current implementations of object-oriented languages (esp. C) on host-based systems (esp. VAXen). Are there any good ones in existance? What are people's experiences with them? Also, a couple of Smalltalk questions: which book is better to start with (blue or orange(?)) if we're just trying to get a feel for the language, to see if it fits our needs. I read both a couple of years ago, but most of the knowledge has dribbled out my ears, it seems. And, I have been told by a number of people that Smalltalk is great for prototyping a system, especially new user interfaces. Has anyone done any work on porting such prototypes to different hosts/different languages so you don't have to start the implementation over from scratch? I don't normally read this newsgroup so e-mail would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Mike Sellers UUCP: {...your spinal column here...}!tektronix!tekecs!mikes INNING: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 TOTAL IDEALISTS 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 REALISTS 1 1 0 4 3 1 2 0 2 0
