- Hi.
-
- I've read a lot on this newsgroup about how good mixins are but how
- some compilers don't support them.
-
- I've never come across this term before. Would somebody be able to
- explain what the 'mixin' concept is?
-
- Also what is wrong with the compilers that don't support it. I
- understand Borland doesn't. So what isn't borland doing that it
- should?
-
- Your help would be appreciated!
-
- Regards,
-
- Chris Double.
