[comp.lang.smalltalk] 2 questions

bergman@scripps.edu (Larry Bergman) (07/03/90)

1) I'm trying to use Unix sockets from a Macintosh
   version of ObjectWorks for Smalltalk (running
   under Mac OS).  ParcPlace doesn't support
   sockets for non-Unix platforms.  Has anyone 
   written code that would enable me to do this?

2) I'm looking for a Smalltalk implementation that
   runs on a Stardent Titan.  Any pointers would
   be appreciated.

Thanks,  Larry Bergman

I think you need to have TCP/IP to appletalk translater.  This is 
configuration for Macintosh GemStone client, so there must be way
to use sockets from Mac.  Contact ParcPlace for details...

I think parc place can give you more details on this too.  Anyway,
if there is no Smalltalk-80 available, there is always GNU smalltalk
to play around...

Try Eliot Miranda's BrouHaHa.  It's a portable Smalltalk which could be ported
in a few days.

Contact him at eliot@cs.qmw.ac.uk

One way to do it would be to write your own user defined primitives, and use
MacTCP or a similar beast. The job might be tough. I may have the same needs
soon and in any case if someone did it I'd be pleased not to do it again.

ParcPlace mentionned in some earlier issues of their newsletter that they
did some work in cooperation with Stardent but I don't know what's the
current status.

  No, At least we have not done so yet... but it is possible that we may
have to do this, since we are using sockets as a communications method from
smalltalk to other (remote) programs.

  Check ParcPlace.   I *KNOW* that there is a version for the titan (at
least the original ardent titan).   I know cause we have it.
