-=- Contrary to Mr. Winkler's previous assertion in this space, Apple's previous non-release of Smalltalk had nothing to do with speed. A quick glance at the Orange book pp.165-171 will tell you that (Apple's original Lisa implmentation is column H, Berkely BS is column D for a comparision...) The Orange Book, for those of you who don't know, is one of the Smalltlak-80 series published by Addision-Wesley (which perhaps Mr. Winkler should read, along with the whole Smalltalk series to find answers to his questions) -mark "These are my views, not my employers..."

The Orange Book is Smalltalk-80: The Interactive Programming Environment. The Green Book is Smalltalk-80: Bits of History, Words of Advice, and the article that Mr. Lentczner is trying to direct your attention to is "The Smalltalk-80 Benchmarks" by Kim McCall of the SCG, Xerox PARC. -Peter Yee ..ucbvax!yee yee@Berkeley.ARPA
