C++ seems to be one of the more efficient OOPL's for 'small' machines
like the PC. The code may look ugly on first sight - but so does C code.
I am no C++ or CommonView fanatic just helps me do the job with some fun. 

Actor and C_Talk seem to invent their own languages. Isn't it quite a task
to design a language, implement it, do a windows interface and create a 
nice environment? I would be interested in comments on Actor and C_Talk.
Are there any others? What is CASE:W? Could someone give me the
address/phonenumber of C_TALK?

I am using windows/386  as a 'programming environment'. I have some
notepad editors and windowed DOS prompts on the screen. I can at least
quickly switch between compiling and editing as well as edit several
files on the screen.
