Anyway you'd better stick to NSObject.
Object is used to implement the metaclass class hierachy inside the
ObjC runtime.
You normally don't play with it. ;)
It is a real example, but it is from the section that is teaching
straight ObjC. Cocoa doesn't really get introduced into that book
until chapter 14 "Introduction to the Foundation Framework".
On page 313 he says "In all the programs up to this point, you used
the root object Object. The Foundation framework uses a different root
object called NSObject." You'll get there soon.
So original poster, probably the Obj-C mailing list might be a better
place to ask about Kochan examples until you get to chapter 14.
Good luck, it's a fine book. I was in your shoes 1.5 years ago. Read
