I'd like to emphasise Alan's point, by adding/pointing out that it is perfectly possible to write e.g. Object Oriented code in e.g. a procedural language like C, which obviously doesn't support the notion of objects explicitly in the language, although then it's up to you to come up with conventions and infrastructure to support the concept of object orientation in your program. As examples, the X Window System was originally written in C but using object oriented principles, also GTK+ is an object oriented cross platform widget set written in C. It relies on a library called GObject for realisation of object orientation. See e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GObject Regards Walter
