A simple question, yes? I have only seen monochromatic versions of Smalltalk. Mind you, I'm not specifically talking about the use of Smalltalk for work on color graphics problems, I think I understand this. Just simply, does anyone have a color or grayscale version of the environment... platform is secondary (however 386 or MacII would be nice...). Of course, this is hot on the heel of last week's message about graphic limitations inherent in the Smalltalk design. Thanks, --Mike P.S. If this is an old question, sorry for the hassle. ----------------------------------------------- Michael MacKay Information Technology Center Carnegie Mellon University ---------------------------------------------- ARPA: mmackay+@andrew.cmu.edu UUCP: !harvard!andrew.cmu.edu!mmackay Office: (412) 268-6744 Snail mail: Carnegie Mellon University Information Technology Center Attn.

>Just simply, does anyone >have a color or grayscale version of the environment... Tektronix did a wonderful job of creating a color Smalltalk and it was described in a number of papers in the last OOPSLA. They used dithering to create more colors than were available on the screen, and other well thought out features. Bjorn N. Freeman-Benson

We wrote User primitives to handle the 256 color pallete for st-80. Its not the same as having color integrated in the environment I guess....What would be the difference, any comments ? > Bjorn N.

Digitalk's Smalltalk/V 286 runs in color (EGA and VGA are supported, among others). It runs on 286 or 386 machines.

Just simply, does anyone >have a color or grayscale version of the environment... platform is If you hurry, you can probably get a pretty good color Smalltalk on a Tektronix 4317 or 4319. Pretty good means a lot more sophistication in access than a method to set "red:green:blue:" Greyscale may also still be available. Hurry because Tek is getting out of the Smalltalk business. 8-( Rik Fischer Smoody Sony Computer Science Lab, Inc. 3-14-13 Higashigotanda, Shinagawa-ku Tokyo 141 Japan phone: (03)448-4381 FAX (03)448-4273 E-mail: riks@csl.sony.jp or maybe: riks@csl.sony.co.jp
