- Joe,
-
- I probably should have made myself a bit more clear. I did not intend to
- portray the opinion that language in and of itself is irrelevant. I really
- meant that C++ vs. OP is not a very relevant issue in the release of MA 3.0.
- Believe me, I would much rather use "real" object-oriented language (as opposed
- one with object extensions) and so far my language of choice *would* be Eiffel.

- Larry,

- Improvements ARE very important in MacApp, but not at the expense of the
- stability our apps. We got into MacApp to help make our apps easier(faster) to
- write and easier to maintain. Maintainance would be easier if we didn't have 3
- or 4 different versions of the class library floating around here. I just feel
- that more effort needs to be put towards making MacApp improvements (upgrades)
- much less painful for developers.
-
- You're right, the Toolbox probably did have many more bugs than MacApp, the
- difference is that the Toolbox has very few "is-a" and "has-a" relationships
- between procedures. In general, Toolbox procedures can stand on their own and
- correcting a bug in one section of the toolbox will not have the domino effect
- that correcting a bug in an object-oriented class library can sometimes have.
