If it was Calvin, it's not uncommon for smart ass remarks to leave his
lips. But even so, it was just a question, right? Doesn't mean it's
*not* OOP.

If it were me, I've probably been misquoted. It's very likely that
someone asked about (for example) the 2Gb limit. Most of that engine
code was written ages ago, and is in C. So more than likely I said
something like, "what makes you think that section of the VFP code base
is OOP?"
