Objective-C is part of the Gnu Compiler Collection. As such, it's probably easy to find a working compiler. But I agree - you probably want to start with C. As an aside, if you want to study Eiffel, the book to buy is _Object Oriented Software Construction_, second edition, by Bertrand Meyer. Everybody doing OO software should read this book, as the lessons about constructing inheritance hierarchies are invaluable, even if the language won't enforce them for you. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
