I like to hear if anyone out there is working with Smalltalk V/PM in the os/2 PM environment. We have been using it with some success and I'd like to see what others are experiencing with it. Thanks a lot. Jeff Graber

This code is tailored for Smalltalk/V for PM version 1.0 only. All code is in the public domain. fixes to objectDeepCopy and objectShallowCopy; a fix to allow full pathnames in the Open File dialog box; lots of new kinds of collections, including RectArray, SparseArray, BitArray, BooleanArray, LinkedCollection, LinkedSet, SortedLinkedCollection, Sorted- LinkedSet, CharacterInterval, Tree, IdentitySet, NumericSet, CharacterSet; Generator, a class for creating Icon-style generators; Sequence and descendants, which handle infinite-length stream-like objects, including GeneratedSequence, Random, and ProbabilityDistributions of various kinds, including exponential, gamma, normal, uniform, Bernoulli, geometric, binomial, Poisson, and arbitrary sample spaces; a new option in ClassHierarchyBrowser to display the complete protocol of the current class (all the messages it accepts); a completely revamped Magnitude/Number system, with extensible mixed-mode arithmetic and new classes Complex, NonFiniteNumber (infinite and infinitesimal numbers), and Timestamp; hacks to make DynamicDataExchange easier to use outside the ApplicationWindow context; possibly other things. Interested? Send email. -- cowan@marob.masa.com (aka ...!hombre!marob!cowan) e'osai ko sarji la lojban

The OS/2 version of ST/V is, in my opinion, the best of the entire range. The new version (1.1) has less obvious bugs than the 1.0 version and is quite reliable. Main advantages are (in relation to non-OS/2 versions): - good integration with OS - less memory restrictions - stand-alone executable possible Main disadvantages are - large executables - not compatible with smalltalk-80 - parameter conversion between STV/PM <-> DLL - no real multitasking (just 2 threads used) Jan --- ir.
