Hi Pascal,

Mostly because they are fully objectorientated languages, btw I've one 
bad thing about objects in Pascal.

If you have

type
	someclass = class
			private
				tmpint: integer;
		    end;

You can modify tmpint all over the unit but not in other units. It 
should _only_ be the method of the class which you be able to access 
tmpint, like in Java and C++.

BTW Is my argument true in TP7+ (and brothers) too ?

PS> I haven't touched any Pascal code in the last 6 years, and I don't intend

I really really hope not to do pascal any further.. Except for I would 
rather write Delphi/Pascal than M$ VB.NET.

Regards,
Bo
