If you do anonymous ftp to a machine at Oregon State University, I
believe cs.orst.edu, or cs.oregon-state.edu, or csvax.cc.orst.edu, or
some such combination, you will find a directory called "budd", in
which Tim Budd keeps all his educational programs.  You will find
versions 1 2 and 3 of Little Smalltalk.  Skip 2, and go to 3, which is
far from the book, but begins to be quite useable.

I never used version 1, and I used version 2 quite a bit with
frustration because it was really just a step on the way to version 3.

I wrote quite a bit with version 3 of Little Smalltalk, and found it
useable, though I finally started wanting a real Xerox-like smalltalk
(smalltalk 80), for several reasons.  Now GNU smalltalk is around, and
it is an implementation of Smalltalk 80, so you should consider it.
