Recently I have been reading about Thinglab and am growing quite interested in it. Is it possible to get the code so I can play with it myself? (I am running APDA Smalltalk 0.4 on a Mac II) Thanks, Mike gleicher@cs.cmu.edu -- Michael Lee Gleicher gleicher@cs.cmu.edu (-: Of course I believe Carnegie Mellon University 5610 Elmer St. Apt 10 (-: in miracles, Pittsburgh, PA 15232 (-: its my job.

The README file at <june.cs....> follows: ThingLab is now in the public domain. Feel free to copy the system and use it as you wish. Two versions are available: an old version of ThingLab (pre-constraint hierarchies), and one with constraint hierarchies. They are available on internet on the machine june.cs.washington.edu. To get them, FTP to june and log in as ANONYMOUS password FOO. Connect to the subdirectory pub/thinglab (the full path to this directory is /src/ftp/pub/thinglab). Then retrieve either old-thinglab.tar.Z or hierarchies.tar.Z. These are both compressed Unix tar files, containing the files to load into Smalltalk. This note is in README in the same directory. Rob Duisberg's Animus system isn't available--it is still ensnarled by Tektronix's legal department. NB. Both versions of ThingLab are now obsolete--at the University of Washington we've decided that ThingLab had become too old, too large, and too unmaintainable, and so we're starting afresh on work on constraint systems in Smalltalk-80. These versions are completely unsupported. We don't have the resources to provide help in using or debugging them, or in providing copies of floppies or tapes. Good luck! ----- Too bad. I'm quite curious about Animus now, too! Anybody able to describe it or ThingLab in more detail?

Our experience with the ThingLab formerly distributed by Xerox was that it ran in both Tek and PPS images. I assume this is still true. Animus runs only on the Tek image. --dick peskin <peskin@caip.rutgers.edu>
