[comp.lang.smalltalk] Little Smalltalk - HELP!

steve@cs.hw.ac.uk (Steven Salvini) (02/27/89)

I've recently down-loaded the PC version of Little Smalltalk from the
Simtel archives.   Unfortunately, I can't get it to run properly.
Now I can't imagine it being in the archives if its bugged so I guess 
there's some small "undocumented feature" I'm missing when setting it up...

When I've unpacked it all with ST.EXE, PARSER.EXE & PRELUDE (amongst much
else!) in the same directory and enter "ST" at the DOS prompt I get the
response -

	respond error: new
	Smalltalk does not respond to: new
	Little Smalltalk

If I then try 3 + 4 I get -

	respond error: print
	Integer does not respond to: print

I've also tried re-building the system from the source files but my new 
executable does exactly the same ;-(

Any help greatly appreciated...

Ta, Steve.

You need to build an initial image using the parser.  On Unix system, this is
done by
	parser - basic.st unix.st
I imagine there should be a pc.st to go with it.  This should be in your make 
file also.
