Anyone heard of the BETA language ? It's said to be a better Simula. Anyone knows where to get more info ? Is there a PD - compiler perhaps? Thanks Magnus Romedahl E-mail: ev9111@njord.fek.su.se

Re: The BETA Language. There is an implementation of BETA done as part of the "Mjolner" project, which was run (I think) by Ole Lehrmann Madsen of the Computer Science Dept., Aarhus University, Denmark (e-mail: olmadsen@daimi.dk). You might want to start with the OOPSLA '89 proceedings for a list of references. The paper on BETA in OOPSLA '89 was : "Virtual Classes -- A powerful mechanism in object-oriented programming" by O. L. Madsen and B. Moller-Pedersen. OOPSLA '89 (SigPlan Notices 24.10, Oct. 1989).
