[net.lang.st80] Smalltalk help

rentsch@unc.UUCP (Tim Rentsch) (11/04/86)

Well, the replies have come in, and the responses have been
overwhelmingly in favor of posting hints, fixes, and goodies.  There
follows the first in a series of notes on help with Smalltalk.  These
notes are written with the PS interpreter in mind, but most notes in
the series generally apply to other interpreters as well, notably the
well-known "bs" Berkeley Smalltalk.  

Something of an apology:  the notes will contain copyright notices.
I hope the notices do not offend anyone, but I have been sensitized
to the issues surrounding copyright and posting on netnews.  I intend
the postings to benefit individuals on the net (else why would I be
posting?), but do not intend for someone else to profit from my
investment of effort.  The copyright notices are worded with this in
mind.  (May the effect be what was intended.)

cheers,

One more thing, which I forgot to say in my previous note.  Several
people have promised to post fixes and goodies of their own, in
response to my postings.  To this I say, Great!  Let's get things
cooking on this news group, and get a real usenet smalltalk community
going.  

Those of you who promised postings -- the UNC smalltalk community
looks forward to reading them.

The rest of you who responded -- let's see some stuff from you all as
well.  A goodie need not be big, complicated, or difficult, in order
to be useful.  (A goodie which I frequently find useful -- coming
soon -- is just two lines of code!)  

cheers,
