	Smalltalk-V isn't likely to be ported to the
	Amiga in the near future, and ParcPlace wants
	Big Buck$ for the source (they have no interest
	in an Amiga port).

	However, Gnu Smalltalk can be had for free, but
	would need to be ported both in terms of writing
	the virtual machine for AmigaDOS, and also to add
	some graphics operators to the opcodes...
