Steve, There's NO "Component Software" concept ten years ago. Sure there was. Object technology had been around for quite awhile before I wrote my system in 1988. And components written in Smalltalk had also been around by that time. The system I built was written in C, though. I used the DESQview API (a rather nice DOS-based API) to build components of this system; each component could be plugged in and out even while the system was running. The system I designed had a telecommunication component, transaction log, messaging component, and printing subsystem (plus some other supporting components). It was designed in 1988/89 with a functional/object methodology developed by Larry Constantine (meaning the design could be implemented with either a function-based or object-based language). I'm sure this is boring stuff for the stock people, so I'd be glad to describe in more detail offline. Cheers, Steve
