I just recieved Smalltalk 0.3 in the mail from APDA after a 2 month
wait. The interpreter Smalltalk.interp hangs my mac. In fact, it
hangs any of the macs (all Mac+'s) I try it on. The TMON debugger
says it is trying to execute an illegal instr. Has anyone got
Smalltalk 0.3 to work? Is my interpreter just corrupted? I tried
the new image file with a pre-released version of 0.3 (called
"June11.interp") that I have and it worked (until I get a
primitive failed message - I suppose that primitive failure
would not have occured had I had a full 0.3 version of the interp.).
I am anxious to find out if 0.3 works. Does it work off of a MacServe
volume? (I didn't try it yet with MacServe, but I would like to.)
Does it work with a 68020, floating point co-proc., and/or big screen?
I hope someone from APDA is listening, but I would appreciate a response
from anyone out there with info. Thanks in advance.

It requires the full (as near as I can tell) 1MB. If you have the ram cache on it will die. You need to have the image and the interp in one folder and if you haven't joined (see the utilities that came w/ ST) the interp pieces together (and the image pieces) things will defintely bomb (I probably should assume anyone w/ enough techie background to even have ST 0.3 is aware of this, but just to be sure...). This is supposed to be a pre-beta and Apple was supposed to have a new version out for schools to use, but that's got to be a low priority since it isn't a revenue generator and Paris and Alladin are probably consuming most Macish talent @ Apple now.
