>Before there were so called object languages, object programing was a conceptual tool that some developers used to generalize their solutions. Of course they didn't have all these poly sylabic terms. One can develop object solutions with out necessarily using an object language, just as on can write non-object solutions using obect programming languages.

C++ has been OOP even during the time Clipper is popular. OOP methodology is not changing ever since. Some programming tools i.e. VB are just Object Based not Object Oriented. I just can not find the book reiterating that Clipper 5.0 is not Object Oriented but just merely a misconception because it does not have the attributes of a true OOP language.
