	I just received a notice from Symantec about the new release 
of LightSpeed C 4.0. An excerpt from the flyer reads:

	"The object extensions in THINK C support classes, methods, 
	 inheritance, and polymorphism. The source-level debugger
	 transparently supports objects as well. And the THINK C Class
	 Library gives you the building blocks to implement the standard
	 Macintosh user interface, allowing you to focus on your application.
	 The object extensions in THINK C are similar to Object Pascal
	 as defined by Apple Computer. The syntax is based on C++, and is
	 upwardly compatible with C++. "

	I hope this helps.
