[comp.lang.smalltalk] Request for an Infinity class

neild@mucs.UX.CS.MAN.AC.UK (Neild Dyer) (10/22/87)

I recently read an article in this news group, concerning the generality
versus polymorphism debate, in which the author mentioned having
implemented a class to represent Infinity.  Unfortunately I did not note
the name of the author at the time.  Being able to handle Infinity as a
kind of Number would simplify some of what I am trying to do but I cannot
at the moment justify the time to think of all the necessary changes and
implement them.  I would thus appreciate it if that author (or anyone else
who has implmented Infinity) could mail me the necessary changes.  I am
working with Parc Place's VM1.1 and VI2.2.

Thanks in advance

	Neil Dyer
