Several posters have commented on how inheritance violates encapsulation. Are we not discussing design issues of various OO languages? If a language allows a subclass access to local variables of a superclass then in that language all local variables become part of the interface. Accept it or change languages. Now tell me why I'm wrong. I always like learning new things. // marc -- // Marco S. Hyman {ames,pyramid,sun}!pacbell!dumbcat!marc
