  20. It depends on your religious views about what constitutes "true OOP." 
  21. Since they have classes, inheritance, and polymorphism/run-time binding, I
  22. would say that THINK C and Pascal qualify.  THINK C isn't "true C++",
  23. though, because it lacks operator overloading and a number of other
  24. features.
