[comp.object] object oriented environment

benoit@istsho.UUCP (Benoit Cazavant) (10/17/89)

  We are in the process of evaluating several object-oriented packages for a
  big project( Computerized hospital). We want to use object-oriented languages
  for the following reasons :
     - ability to prototype the application
     - very user-friendly interface
     - ability to easily change interface behavior

  In order to choose the appropriate environment, we request the help
  and sugestions of anybody willing to help. More specific subjects are :

   1 - graphics interface builder/libraries ?

   2 - Is there a clip-art or icon library ?

   3 - Physical limitations or drawbacks or things we should know ?

   4 - Benchmarks : Performance, ease-of-use, etc.

   5 - Is there a debugger/interpreter available ?

   6 - Tools/libraries available to support Ethernet and/or TCP-IP

   7 - Digitazing images and transform them into icons or objects.

   8 - Voice digitazing ?

   9 - Tools/libraries for a database interface ?

  Please reply by most appropriate way I will summarize.
