Is anyone aware of public domain Smalltalk for Mac? and/or where I might be able to get ahold of a copy. Also, Has anyone had good/bad experiences with any commercial smalltalk interpreters? Bob Bennett

I just got a copy of Tim Budd's Little Smalltalk. It took $30.00 and months to get. My problem is getting it off the mag tape onto floppies for loading into SCO Xenix 2.3.2. If you can handle that I'll mail you the tape in exchange for the dump onto floppies.

If anyone wants Little Smalltalk, they can get it by anonymous ftp from Oregon State University, CS Department. There you will find Tim Budd's version 3, which I believe he never even announced. Veteran netters will remember that version 2 was posted to comp.sources.unix. Version 3 is nice. He fixes a lot of annoying things about version 2, like the fact you could not do foo <- SomeClass new but you had to do something hideous like globalNames at: #foo put: (SomeClass new) Another interesting thing is the beginning of a graphical interface (optional) using the stdwin package, which has drivers for X, curses and probably suntools. Only the X version works, though last I looked it was not great. I like Tim Budd's work, though clearly there is a lot of Smalltalk stuff not there. I think people should take a look at it, and consider the possibility of making a GNU smalltalk, which is a real smalltalk with the option of having no graphics, and ***free***. Anyway, that is fixed in version 3, available on cs.orst.edu. I found it by chance. -- {These opinions are mine, and should be everybody else's :-)} Mark Galassi rosalia@dirac.physics.sunysb.edu rosalia@mozart.UUCP rosalia@sunysbnp.BITNET
