All of this talk of OOP FORTH extensions makes me realize that my understanding of OOP is so superficial that my (up to now, at least) rejection of OOP is really out-of-hand and not an informed rejection. Can somebody recomend a good book on the *theory* of OOP (not a programming manual for this-or-that OOP language) so that I can make an *informed* rejection :-)? -- R.

David Murray (DAVID@PENNDRLS.BITNET, DAVID@PENNDRLS.UPENN.EDU) Try _Object Oriented Concepts, Databases and Applications_ by Kim & Lochovsky. It just blew into our library here & is still on the new books display, so I can't say much about it. I can say that it isn't small (about 1" thick) and also, don't flame me for OOP; I'm not a die-hard. I am interested though. See you Ronn
