Without getting into an OO flamewar, we're talking about Apple distributing new widgets as part of an IB plugin, not just as individual objects. Look at the text system for an example of an OO system which can't be reused in its individual pieces, but is very powerful when taken as a unit whose individual components can be enhanced. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
