What a lot of
people don't seem to understand is that you can create object oriented
code in standard 'C' without having to resort of C++...


Yah...but...

C++ is just a bunch of object oriented libraries written in straight
C. C++ just saves us the time of having to write all that code. It's
also why compiling 37K of source code may give you a 30 Meg EXE. :-))

Yes, I'd forgot about that. I remember when I was learning C++ and
compiled the ubiquitous Hello World program. The executable was
multiple MB in size compared to a few K for Fortran 77. :-)

I ended up deciding it was easier to leave programming for management
than to learn a language as messed up as C++. It was bad enough
learning C after having used Pascal and VAX Fortran, but C++ was just
too bizarre.
