Texas, Astronomy, Austin, TX Lines: 10 I just saw a posting in comp.sys.mac.programmer for a 3 day talk on MPW C++ that included a discussion on multiple inheritance & virtual classes in C++. It also says that C++ has a very efficient run time implementation of mult- iple inheritance. I didn't think C++ had multiple inheritance. I've heard that there is a paper by Bjarne Stroustup on mult. inher. Could someone illuminate me on how mult. inher. can/could be done in C++. I know it can be worked around with friends and the like. What IS a virtual class and what is it for? --- James McCartney
