It is used, for example, by NextStep. It's a fine system, but it just never really caught on. If you want to read more about it, get _Objective-C: Object-oriented programming techniques_ by Lewis J. Pinson and Richard S. Wiener -- this is the only book of any worth that I'm aware of on Objective-C. (Other people with different opinions are welcome to contribute their book suggestions.) -- Erik Max Francis, &tSftDotIotE http://www.alcyone.com/max/ max AT alcyone DOT com San Jose, California ICBM 37 20 07 N 121 53 38 W R^4: the 4th R is respect War's a game which were their subjects wise/Kings would not play at. -- Cowper
