- Very true, though after six years in C++ and a few with Object Pascal, I
- have noticed that all of my "structured" programming winds up being OO,
- complete with this pointers as the first parameter to procedures and func-
- tions. I like the approach better, and my structured code gets better the
- more object-oriented it gets.

- If you want to see some really ugly C-based polymorphism in action, look
- at the Motif packages. Makes you want to buy C++ compilers for everyone
- so that C will just go away ;-).
