I just received a letter from Digitalk answering a bundle of questions I had. I will cite some of the answers: "third-party developers have classes of objects available for accesing dBase, Btrieve or SQL databases. Object Databases is developing their object-oriented database so that it can be accessed by Smalltalk /V PM." Additional information concerned availability and features of Smalltalk/V Win3 Shipping starts in January. 100% code compatibilty to ST/V PM. System require- ments (including Windows) is 4 MB (they hope to reduce it to 3). It compiles stand-alone .EXE files with no royalties to be paid for applications. It makes full use of all Windows features like DLL and DDE. It is fully CUA- and SAA-compliant. "If you want, you can execute Smalltalk code from within a W4W document". In April/May there will be an interface editor available called "Look & Feel". No more dispatcher/pane-stuff but a class library resembling the Windows-IO. Price for the system (I assume it to be identical for PM and Windows): $ 499.95 $ 199.98 educational account for university and schools. - Thomas ------- Thomas Muhr, Technical University of Berlin, BITNET: muhrth@db0tui11 Project ATLAS - Computer Based Tools for Qualitative Research "Computers, like every technology, are a vehicle for the transformation of tradition."
