That's a good suggestion. Some of this is in the Obj-C FAQ, I
believe (which is frequently posted to the comp.lang.objective-c

Actually, it's not all that long, and it is available in HTML form, at
file:///Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/ObjectiveC/index.html

It's a whole lot less work to describe the C to Obj-C
differences.
