Re: smalltalk

        In the 'bits of history, words of advice' book they mention
an implementation of Smalltalk done at berkeley on the vax.  Does anybody
know if this implementation or any other implementations of smalltalk
are or will be available in the near future?

I'm getting this from a knowlegable individual at our site...

--------------------
Berkeley does have a version of Smalltalk-80 called BS II.  It runs on
the Sun 1.5 under Sun 4.2, but I believe that they have a version that
runs on the Vax with a locally-munged AED 512 as a terminal.  The
system is in beta test right now; you might want to contact Dave
Patterson at UCB (pattrsn%ucbkim@berkeley).

Keep in mind that BS II is a research tool, not a piece of production
software.
