   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?
