The current issue of Apple direct says:
  "We are committed to object-oriented programming and are planning
  future Macintosh environments that must be programmed with object-

This is pretty clear. What is not absolutely clear, is whether they will
thereby break all existing application software. Or will they somehow make
existing software compatible?
