I have two coupons from Borland. One to upgrade to C++, the other to upgrade my ancient-never-used copy of Turbo Pascal. I'm a C bigot, so I will upgrade to C++, but I'm curious about Turbo Pascal 5.5, in particular its object extensions. How are these extensions similar/different to objects in C++ and/or Smalltalk? I'm interested in TP 5.5 if its Object Oriented paradigm is sufficiently different from TC++. Please answer by e-mail. If there is sufficient interest I'll post a summary. -- Chuck Noren NET: ncar!dinl!noren US-MAIL: Martin Marietta I&CS, MS XL8058, P.O. Box 1260, Denver, CO 80201-1260 Phone: (303) 971-7930

Thanks for the replies. The basic consensus is that the Object Oriented paradigm for Turbo Pascal is very similar to Turbo C++. Since I have a C orientation I will stay with my original plans to purchase only an upgrade to TC++ and spare the expense of upgrading to TP5.5. With this I do not wish to imply that Turbo Pascal is an inferior product, the contrary is true. Thanks again. -- Chuck Noren NET: ncar!dinl!noren US-MAIL: Martin Marietta I&CS, MS XL8058, P.O.
