6. All classes to have the same ultimate ancestor object.

This is done manually (by having all your objects inherit from TObject somewhere).

In Delphi, it doesn't need to be done manually. If you write; Type FooObj = Class end; It is *exactly* the same as if you had written; Type FooObj = Class(TObject) end;

Or maybe you mean we could do this:

var C: class;

I am not sure you can do that, or that you should be able to do it. Warmest regards, The Chief --------- Dr. Abimbola A.
