I am a heavy user of STVPM and have a lot of stuff to give away.
This code is tailored for Smalltalk/V for PM version 1.0 only.
All code is in the public domain.

fixes to objectDeepCopy and objectShallowCopy;

a fix to allow full pathnames in the Open File dialog box;

lots of new kinds of collections, including RectArray, SparseArray, BitArray,
BooleanArray, LinkedCollection, LinkedSet, SortedLinkedCollection, Sorted-
LinkedSet, CharacterInterval, Tree, IdentitySet, NumericSet, CharacterSet;

Generator, a class for creating Icon-style generators;

Sequence and descendants, which handle infinite-length stream-like objects,
including GeneratedSequence, Random, and ProbabilityDistributions of various
kinds, including exponential, gamma, normal, uniform, Bernoulli, geometric,
binomial, Poisson, and arbitrary sample spaces;

a new option in ClassHierarchyBrowser to display the complete protocol of
the current class (all the messages it accepts);

a completely revamped Magnitude/Number system, with extensible mixed-mode
arithmetic and new classes Complex, NonFiniteNumber (infinite and infinitesimal
numbers), and Timestamp;

hacks to make DynamicDataExchange easier to use outside the ApplicationWindow
context;

possibly other things.
