  11. Alan,
  12.  
  13. I'll play devil's advocate because C++ isn't my favorite language either.
  14. However, are these that folks find wrong with C++ only wrong from an MPW Pascal
  15. perspective (e.g., virtual)?  I'm not trying to upset anyone but maybe things
  16. in C++ make sense from a C++ standpoint.  I also think, however, that I would
  17. like to see some additional capabilities in the C++ language specifications
  18. such as run-time type identification.  I hear that this has been considered by
  19. the ANSI committee but don't know what decision they have made about it.  As
  20. far the MPW C++ implementation, I'd like to see exception handling and
  21. templates.
  22.  
  23. Regards,
  24.
