>> I believe that the Mac OS is written in Pascal.

Very good. You are right about the old System stuff... but that isn't what
we are talking about.  Apple is doing a COMPLETE REWRITE of the System--
meaning that they are rewriting everything.  But this time 'round, they are
supposedly at least going to use C, and there is a version of Finder being
done in C++; what the final release versions will be is still up in the air,
but it is very, very doubtful that Apple is going to do a rewrite in Pascal.
