I just recently got a copy of the "Object Pascal Preliminary
Documentation" (February 22, 1985) that came from Apple.  Apparently
Larry Tesler (and others) have collaborated with Prof. Niklaus Wirth on
a object-oriented extension to Pascal.  The specification of the Object
Pascal has been put in the public domain.

The form of the extension is fairly simple.  Basically there is an
"object" definition that looks a lot like a record definition, with the
exception that the fields are private, and "method" headings (procedure
and function headings) can put in the definition.  If you've seen
Simula the basic idea is the same.

Has anyone else (outside of Apple) done anything with this?  (Have you
heard of this before?)

They also suggest that the extensions could be applied to Modula-2.
