How do you achieve polymorphic behavior? A few ideas occur to me such as having a "CREATE" operator that sets the methods to the appropriate implementations for the runtime type. Another is to maintain a table of object IDs and classes and always have methods invoked through a common dispatch manager, but nothing really seems very clean.
Anyway, I remember that, and I think it's a good idea. --- Kevin Toppenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A while back I posted code that used globals to store object-like > data.
