Recently I came across the following: In article <5483@utah-cs.UUCP>, thomson@utah-cs.UUCP (Richard A Thomson) writes: >> I agree with you that this modularity is indeed useful and that it is >> realizable with the Amiga system.

I believe this would work very well. But there are a few >problems... >-Peter Schachte ------------------------------------------------------------------ This concept could be easily adapted to the Object List Processor I'm currently working on. In this system object types are generally abstract. Eventually I intend to incorportate run time abstraction, but for now I'm simply implementing compile time abastraction. (By abstraction I mean the utiliztion of a pointer to an abstract record, ie: one with no specific type). At the DevCon the concept of "Working groups" was presented. These are to be groups of programmers with similar interests communicateing and collaborating with some coordination assistance from Commodore. This concept seems well suited to such a group, and I would like to be part of it. Any others interested in participating and willing to give at least 8 hours per week to such an effort please contact me by email or at (619) 421-5602 (between 10 am and 10 pm pst.). If there is enough interest I'll contact C= and get things rolling. Thanks, Wade. PS: Would someone please Xpost to BIX? I'll have a BIX account shortly, so this will not be a regular request.
