>Actually, I agree with you, but I'd like to play devil's advocate. What about those that say that OO is a tool just as everything else. It is to be used, but it is not an End-all, Be-all. There are some problems that don't lend themselves easily to an OO solution. In some rare occasions a PRG would actually be more effective.

Dan,

I have heard that argument, but, interestingly, no one who made it ever gave me a situation where it was true. The only time I have found it helpful to use a proc is when the routine is simply an extension of the language.
