I was wondering if anyone had a Think C class similar to MacApp's TTextListView (a scrolling list that can handle >32K by getting each displayed line in the list as it needs to be displayed) when It occured that other people probably would like to exhange objects and ideas about object oriented programming on the Mac. Is there an interest in creating a MacOops news group ? If there is enough interest I will take the initiative to get it started. I think you Think C fans could really benefit from this since the base classes don't have all the niceities of MacApp. I'd like to see some better support for Object C and I think that we, as users, could do this best by working together instead of waiting for MacApp's C++ (2nd qtr of 90 ?) or Think C 5.0 (who knows when ?)

I think I suggest we just stick in comp.sys.mac.programer and/or comp.object until traffic is enough that people throw us out to our own group... Let's avoid the hassle of creating a newsgroup, and just DO it (could comp.binaries.mac (long delay) be the appropriate forum ? Or post sources to comp.sys.mac.programmer and redirect follow-ups and discussion about it to comp.object ? Happy Hacking ! h+@nada.kth.se -- Trapezoid, n. -- A device for catching zoids.

Apple had a press release about it at OOPSLA '89. We also showed a beta of SADE 1.1 that fully supports Object Pascal and C++. (I don't think the beta of SADE is going to be made available; instead you will be able to get the final version.) -- Larry Rosenstein, Object Specialist Apple Computer, Inc. 20525 Mariani Ave, MS 46-B Cupertino, CA 95014 AppleLink:Rosenstein1 domain:lsr@Apple.COM UUCP:{sun,voder,nsc,decwrl}!apple!lsr
