Bart, > The Amiga OS has, to the best of my knowledge, NOT being written in such a language.< To my knowledge, is was written _before_ OO-programming was en vogue 🙂 It was B, the predecessor of C, and C itself, the successors of A(ssembler), able to write hardware- and structure-near code too. Which means, that the principles of OOP are language indepent, indeed. Of course, you will need a much extended – and therefore slow one – BASIC interpreter to handle capsuled stuctures 🙂 >Programming the Amiga in assembler is almost as easy< If you use the amiga libraries (who doesn't?), in fact you use OOP :-)) You know how easy it is… Imnho, OOP or not OOP is a question which style one prefers for problem analysis and solving. You may use a (preferably true) oo-language or not. Imnho, OOP just means to switch on your brain and let it warm-up before coding. The other i would characterize as brain-storming. Both may lead to a reasonable result. The bill comes with management of design errors and later with servicing and upgrading/actualisation…:-) regards, Dieter Goettmann jetting on AP1.80 A4000:graceful host of from Karlsruhe, Germany OS3.1,Mac7.1,NetBSD1.0
