Abstract
In the object-oriented dynamic programming environment, dynamic modifi cation of a class, which permits change of it at run-time and without recompilation, is the key point to exploit flexibility and support rap id prototyping. However, it causes a problem that the existing objects of the modified class are difficult to handle. In this paper, the con cept of ''cloned class'' is introduced, and a method based on it for m odifying dynamically classes is proposed.
