I am having a problem with OrderedCollection. I do not have a good grasp of smalltalk yet, but I would like some hints of were to find the definition of this Class. I am using Little smalltalk and it seems that OrderedCollection is not defined. Thanks, -- / / /======/ Ronin ..!burdvax!wpl ======= / / / / / /======/ ====== / / / /======/ /

<is this really necessary?> You are right the class OrderedCollection is not included as part of the standard prelude in the Little Smalltalk system. This was done in order to keep the size of the standard prelude small, as we were aiming for implementations on some rather small machines, such as the DecPro or the PdP 11/70. Some minimal analysis showed that this class was rather infrequently used, so it was not written up. It should not be too difficult to recreate it, however, from the description in the blue book. --tim budd (usually at arizona, currently on leave at the cwi, thus mcvax!budd )
