It all depends on how they implemented it, as to whether we can call it OOP. I'm sure there will be a way to get to it from straight C. These are all just buzzwords anyways. 🙂 As for being useful… well, we'll see. Some things are standardizable, others are not. In markets where the slightest improvement gives one company a marketing edge over another, you can bet the standard is a least-common-denominator and it won't do everything you want it to do. For something like present-day bitmap images, it's easy to make a standard data format. But a word processor? Maybe not. This all comes around to device-independent graphics, too. On the Mac and PC, very often these embedded objects are handled as the system's native structured graphic format, in Windows it's the "metafile" and on the Mac it's "QuickDraw." Except we don't have that on the Amiga yet…
