&gt;&gt;&gt;Actually the only reason why it's an achievement in MOO is that they
&gt;&gt;&gt;don't have multiple inheritance. 
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;The associated constraint is that MOO (and Cold?) is single rooted. 

&gt;Not an issue with Cold becasue you can multiply inehrit from the root
&gt;and get N identical copies of the root.

&gt;Cold makes no assumptions abotu what or how  the root wil be sued
&gt;except that it is the ultimate root of everything.  Thats it.

&gt;If yo uwanetd totally DIFFERENT structures you coud leven leave root
&gt;empty and inherit it into two sub roots that define their own
&gt;stuff... but from what I understand this isn't the proeprty under
&gt;discussion.

True.  This is a classical MI application.

&gt;To be Ozlike all yo uwould need to do is define your root and then
&gt;inherit it into multiple sub roots.  Ofcoruse yo uwould have tyoi
&gt;build duplciate structures udner enath to get m,ultiple instacnes of
&gt;the same overall application.

&gt;Am I missing soemthing?

The difference being that in the reference Oz implementation you could
delete the Kansas/system root object and still have a live Oz system.
