On my Mac Plus, Smalltalk/V mis-computes // with negative integers. For example, it claims -3 // -1 = -3 One side effect is that negative-going intervals don't work (because their size is typically mis-computed as zero). Digitalk was very nice about it. They apologized for the bug, and say they'll try to have it fixed in a month. They also say it does NOT affect the 68020/68030 version (which may explain how it escaped attention for so long). Meanwhile, us Plus and SE owners are stuck, because the // method isn't actually called, // is done via in-line code instead. I hope they fix this. Mostly I like /V and it's been pretty solid.

(Internet or bitnet addresses preferred, but if you give me some hints I'll try to get through via UUCP).
