Paul...thank you for that info. I was not aware there is a specific OBJ-C mailing list, but will go there, for a few chapters, at any rate!! :-)
Michael.

Anyway you'd better stick to NSObject.
Object is used to implement the metaclass class hierachy inside the ObjC runtime.
You normally don't play with it. ;)

It is a real example, but it is from the section that is teaching straight ObjC. Cocoa doesn't really get introduced into that book until chapter 14 "Introduction to the Foundation Framework".


On page 313 he says "In all the programs up to this point, you used the root object Object. The Foundation framework uses a different root object called NSObject." You'll get there soon.

So original poster, probably the Obj-C mailing list might be a better place to ask about Kochan examples until you get to chapter 14.

Good luck, it's a fine book. I was in your shoes 1.5 years ago. Read Hillegass next._______________________________________________
