ParcPlace won't do it because the market's too small, and they won't let
anyone else do it for them unless the prospect pays $100K for ParcPlace
system source.  I'd go with the GNU Smalltalk and hope it grows a real
user interface soon.  The Amiga 3000 is the closest thing I've seen to
a great platform for ST80 and I think the current situation is a damn
shame.
