In a message dated 12-28-98, Coridon Henshaw said to David Noon about
"VisualAge C++ for OS/2"

Hi Coridon,

CH>I dunno; maybe they wrote it in interpretive C++ running on 
CH>a JAVA-based interpreter?

This has all the hallmarks of SmallTalk. That is the only language I have
seen that can squander that much memory on a regular basis.

CH>Has IBM added any 'killer' features to explain this massive bloat?

I don't know. I haven't looked at the spec. sheet yet. I don't know if I'll
bother.

Regards

Dave
