Notes on IBM and Smalltalk/V 286

As reported in the trade press, IBM has announced a licensing
agreement with Digitalk for Smalltalk, and Smalltalk tools.  As
project manager for object-oriented requirements analysis for a
mainframe IBM user's group (GUIDE International) I come into
contact with numerous IBMers.  IBM is using Smalltalk heavily in
its PM application development efforts, in particular at its Cary
Labs.  IBM's AD/Cycle effort is using Smalltalk for many of its PC
based front-ends.  IBM is extremely interested in using Smalltalk
for its development.  None of the IBMers I have talked to even
mention C or C++ for AD/Cycle tool development.  Also, I do not
believe that Office Vision is using Smalltalk.  At least not the
Office Vision product for the VM operating system.  If you have any
other good IBM rumors, keep us posted.

What kind of tools are people using with Smalltalk V/PM for multi-person
projects?  I mean tools for version control and "merge" of development.
