	This is posting is an exercise in extremely wishful thinking.
In fact I can hardly keep a straight face. A manager at my company
came to me and asked me if there was an Objective-C to C++ translator.
As StepStone is rumored to be about to go belly-up, this is a product
that I could imagine would have a lot of promise. But wait, there's still
more -- he wants it to work for both MVS and OS/2.

	Technical Notes: Actually, this sounds like a monster project
but I'd do it if I hadn't already serve as a Master's student. IMHO, I
think Objective-C is a better language (yea Brad Cox!), but it has yet
to catch on and there are no promises for when gcc 2.0, the
Three-in-One compiler will be released. ObjC -> C++ should be easier
than C++ -> ObjC, since Objective-C is much simpler and cleaner than
C++. If someone wants to give me a fellowship, I'd start with the NeXT
(gnu-based) Objective-C compiler and carry on from there.
