sorry about this late email, but i had to get my copy of ''object
oriented software construction'', by bertrand meyer, back before i
wrote anything.

in chapter 2, ''criteria of object orientation'' there are 15 pages
devoted to what object orientation (o-o) is. there are 3 cathegories
1 method and language (20 criteria)
2 implementation and environment (5 criteria)
3 libraries (4 criteria)
also mentioned is the fact that o-o is not a boolean concept.
''environment a, although not 100% o-o, may be more o-o than
environment b''.

i like that book.
