We are looking for a version of Smalltalk-80 for SUN-3's. We have contacted Berkeley about BSII, but the blurb that came back states "It [BSII] has not been updated to run on SUN 3 or to run under the X window system, although others have made these changes" Anyone know who these "others" might be? I.e. can anyone out there point me in the direction of a Smalltalk-80 system for SUN-3's? The Berkeley blurb mentions a SUN implementation done by L. Peter Deutsch and Allan M. Schiffman. Does anyone know of addresses (Email or snail-mail) for them? Tony Kusalik kusalik@sask.bitnet ...!{ihnp4,alberta}!sask!kusalik

Does anyone know of addresses [...] for them? Peter and Allan both work for ParcPlace Systems, here in Palo Alto. We are currently shipping Smalltalk for Sun workstations, and intend to shortly release Smalltalk for Apple Macintosh Plus, Macintosh SE, and Macintosh II machines (and some other machines as well... but I cannot go into details). I use our Smalltalk on a Sun-3/140, and find it a very pleasant environment for graphics algorithm development. As an old line UNIX/C hacker who has spent the last four months diving into Smalltalk, I must say that it has completely seduced me!
