I wonder if anyone could help me with the following query:

I need to find out about Smalltalk-80 version 2.5, and Objectworks for
Smalltalk-80. Obviously the best way to do this would be to purchase the
system and explore, but at the moment we don't have any hardware available
on which to run the system (No 386 PCs; no suitable MACs; our SUNs are
SUNs of Very Little Brain (memory!)).

Have any fellow-Smalltalkers had experience of this system? If so, how
does it differ from the Smalltalk with which I am familiar (Smalltalk-80
version T2.1.2a for the Tektronix 4404)? What I am particularly interested
in is how much change there has been in the classes concerned with I/O
and user interfaces.

Thanks in advance for any help that people are able to give.

Andrew Jones
