[1] Can anyone recommend a good, general OOP book that covers a few competing languages (including Eiffel and C++)? I find C++ to be too much like C to be OOP (no flames, please, I just don't like pointers in an OOPL) and would like to broaden my scope beyond C++ and CLOS in Lisp. [2] Is there somewhere I could get an Eiffel compiler that will run on a Unix system (probably either a VAX 11/750 or Sun)? TIA, Steve Boswell whatis@ucsd.edu

Grady Booch's latest book, "Object Oriented Design, with Applications" from Benjamin-Cummings publishing is exactly what you describe. -- *** LIMITLESS SOFTWARE, Inc: Jim Showalter, jls@netcom.com, (408) 243-0630 **** *Proven solutions to software problems.
