I noticed something that I hadn't seen in Hillegass: the +new method, roughly equivalent to [[SomeClass alloc] init]. Is that a new thing, or an old thing? Why does Hillegass do in 2 steps what could be done in one?

+new is old and not really recommended. There have been discussions on this in the past, search the archives.

I've just had a look at http://lists.apple.com/archives/cocoa-dev/2002/Feb/10/ memorymaniarevisted.001.txt
It seems to suggest that +new is not deprecated, but alloc init is clearer for beginners. So I don't think I should feel too dimodi to use it if I think it makes the code more readable.

Mark
