[net.lang.st80] OrderedCollection

wpl@burdvax.UUCP (William P Loftus) (08/09/85)

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,

<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.
