I noticed a purple Smalltalk-80 book in a bookstore the other day.
The title is "Smalltalk-80:  The Language", so it's a trimmed version
of the blue book.  Drat, for a second or two I was really excited
about the MVC book finally making it out.

Does anybody know if the eratta for the blue book were incorporated
into the purple book?

Volume 1, no. 4 of HOOPLA (join OOPSTAD for $25/yr to get it) has a
very readable article by Sam S. Adams about the the MVC paradigm,
complete with a couple of examples.  JOOP is rather expensive for some
of us.
