Can anybody tell me the differences between Think-C Vers 4.0 and Vers 3.0 for the Mac? In particular, have they narrowed the gap between Think-C and C++? (It was fairly wide in version 3.0). Have they added non-virtual methods, access protections, constructors?

Some call it C+-. I've heard that everything is public (you use structs), there is no constructors or destructors, no operator overloading and probably there is a lot else missing. I think it is a pity they don't make a real C++ since their programming environment is excellent - great debugger, nice editors etc, etc, etc. And a quite extensive "class" library. I'm working with C++ at work, and I don't want to learn yet another language. If Symantec made Think C 5.0 == C++ I would start doing some real programming at home... Mats Henricson
