I would like to be able to plug in a custom or third-party text object and use that. I would like to see this carried over to other objects as well so that third-party developers and common users can take advantage of this object-oriented world without using IB. For example, I would like to be able to install a new sound object, that would have the same abilities as the previous sound object but extend it to include surround sound and DAT quality. This way it would be very easy for a third-party to provide hardware that could be used by all software. Not just custom written or IBuilt programs. This would be good to see taken further so that there will exist a NextObjects/ where the standard NeXT-provided objects exist and each user can setup a LocalObjects/ from which customized objects can be selected. via Preferences either at the system level or within each App. To have that kind of selectivity should be possible with run-time binding shouldn't it. Comments or problems? -Sean slh@scire.hampshire.edu (NeXTMail+)
