[net.lang.st80] Public domain smalltalk implementations

tom@tommif.UUCP (Tom Faulhaber) (07/16/85)

I am looking for an implementation of Smalltalk for the 68K or 
else an implementation for another machine which is fairly
portable (like Berkeley Smalltalk).  A friend and I have some
spare parts out of which we'd like to build a smalltalk engine, 
but it would be a lot easier with a software base.

Many Thanks,
	Tom Faulhaber

interested, too.  Thanks.

Since the net may get flooded, I'll keep this short.

I don't think it's really "public domain", but ...

"Source for the Little Smalltalk system can be obtained by sending a check for
 $20 (U.S.) payable to "The University of Arizona", to the following address:

	Timothy A. Budd
	Smalltalk Distribution
	Department of Computer Science
	The University of Arizona
	Tucson, Arizona 85721

" (reproduced without permission :-)

- handles most of the language.
- no built-in graphics.
- fast (on a 4.2BSD VAX 780).
- ported to several machines already (ask for the list).
- UNIX-based.
- comes with some demo programs and other goodies.
- I like it.  Check it out!
