To Rev or not to Rev

[Jim Carwardine]

Thank you all for a very interesting thread.  It clarified a lot for me and
many others I'm sure.  Although I've been in the IT industry since 1967 (my
first computer experience was on an IBM 3070), I took up programming again,
after an 8 year hiatus, when I bought a Mac Plus with HC in 1985.  Since
then, I've used only HC and now Rev so my "exposure" to classical OOP was
missing.  Comments like the one my ISP gave indicated a structural as well
as philosophical  difference in thinking.  Thanks, again... Jim
