an X11 interface or an X11 interface for Little Smalltalk. I need to try some experiments and don't have the time to write an interface to Little Smalltalk. As this is only a one-time need, I can't justify the expense of ST-80 from ParcPlace. Any suggestions are welcome. Please respond via email...I'll post results if anyone is interested.

GNU smalltalk has a simple X Windows interface along with the capability to call any C routines. As far as I know GNU's COPYLEFT is still in place (although there are rumors that they are going to remove it, unfortuneately these are unconfirmed). Anyway, back to the X interface...the GNU version lacks any of the browsers, but does contain all of the basics. If you did any work with it, I'd certainly be interested in hearing. The author, Steve Byrne, is also readily accessible and very freindly fellow to talk to. He hasn't done any work with it recently, but he the last time I talked to him he indicated that he would be interested in this type of work. I hope that helps you out...if you do find another solution please let us know! I'm faced with a similar predicament, but I'm currently looking at Objective C. It has a $9500 price tag for the developers kit (Compiler, Foundation Library, X Graphics Library, and browser), and there run time fee if you use the Graphics ($10,000 for the first 1000 copies, $4.50/copy thereafter). The big interest for me is that they have a public domain program that converts Digitalk's flavor or of Smalltalk into Objective C (they claim 80%). --- ZMailQ 1.12 (QuickBBS) * Origin: Jaguar's NetWorking Labs, (303)377-2371 HST/v.32 (200:5000/500.0) -- ============================================================================= Paul Regenhardt - via MetroNet node 200:5000/301 The Bohemia BBS System, Boulder Colorado (303)449-8946 UUCP: Paul.Regenhardt@p0.f500.n5000.z200.METRONET.ORG or : ...!boulder!bohemia.METRONET.ORG!500.0!Paul.Regenhardt =============================================================================
