Hello,

Think C on the Mac has a "member" function to test object membership in 
a class.  It is defined as follows:

	char member(void *anObject, void* aClass);

The function returns 1 if anObject is an instance of aClass or an instance 
of one of aClass' ancestors.  Otherwise, it returns zero.

Is there a similar function in Borland C++ (3.0)?  If not (which is the way 
it looks to me), do instances of objects carry around a class reference 
number?  If so, is there any way to get a class ref. number from a class 
name?

Any help/ideas is/are appreciated.
