I believe at least one OOP library does, and I believe that some of the other OOP libs could be combined to provide full-featured support. I'm playing with Dot write now, actually. I've added classes (seperately, not builtin to Dot) and I'm trying to modify Dot to support redefining operators (such as +-*/&[..], etc.) although I'm far from complete (atm at least). jbrown On 0, Ray Smith <smithr at ix.net.au> wrote: > > > Chris Bensler wrote: > > > I don't agree that EU lacks OOP.
