objective c
     
         an object-oriented superset of ansi c by brad
        cox, productivity products.  its additions to c are few and
        are mostly based on smalltalk.  objective c is implemented
        as a preprocessor for c.  its syntax is a superset of
        standard c syntax, and its compiler accepts both c and
        objective c source code filename extension ".m".
     
        it has no operator overloading, multiple inheritance, or
        class variables.  it does have dynamic binding.  it is
        used as the system programming language on the next.  as
        implemented for nextstep, the objective c language is fully
        compatible with ansi c.
     
        objective c can also be used as an extension to c++, which
        lacks some of the possibilities for object-oriented design
        that dynamic typing and dynamic binding bring to objective
        c.  c++ also has features not found in objective c.
     
        versions exist for ms-dos, macintosh, vax/vms and
        unix workstations.  language versions by stepstone,
        next and gnu are slightly different.
     
        there is a library of gnu objective c objects by
        r. andrew mccallum  with similar
        functionality to smalltalk's collection objects.  it
        includes: set, bag, array, linkedlist, linklist,
        circulararray, queue, stack, heap, sortedarray,
        mappedcollector, gaparray and delegatelist.  version: alpha
        release.  ftp://iesd.auc.dk/pub/objc/.
