The OS/2 version of ST/V is, in my opinion, the best of the entire range. The new version (1.1) has less obvious bugs than the 1.0 version and is quite reliable. Main advantages are (in relation to non-OS/2 versions): - good integration with OS - less memory restrictions - stand-alone executable possible Main disadvantages are - large executables - not compatible with smalltalk-80 - parameter conversion between STV/PM <-> DLL - no real multitasking (just 2 threads used) Jan --- ir.
