Well, I'm still don't seem to be able to get a NETMAIL message out,
but I would like to answer some of the questions I've gotten so I've
written one long post to answer the NETMAIL I've recieved.
   
To: boulder!mace.cc.purdue.edu!nvi (Charles C. Allen)
Mr. Allen gave me a gentle reminder to my infamous quote ("I wish
Digitalk would put their Smalltalk up on something other then a PC"),
that Digitalk does indeed have a Mac version.  Thanks for keeping me
honest....
  
To: boulder!cs.uiuc.edu!johnson (Ralph Johnson)
The main reason that I want to convert Smalltalk/V286 to another 
language
is so that I can run my Smalltalk application on a VAX under VMS.  
Anything
else is a secondary consideration.  Your reserch does sound intriguing 
and
I would like to hear more (so would everyone else most likely).  
 
To: boulder!sybase.com!marc (I am Marc E. Strohwig) and
    Tom Wisdom, Hewlett-Packard, Colorado Telecommunications Division
 
Both of you sent nearly identical queries about the Smalltalk PD code.
Anyone who is interested can send me a diskette in a self addressed
stamped envelope with a note attached asking for the code and I'll put 
the information on the disk and mail it out to them (send it to:
Simulation Sciences inc., ATTN: Paul Regenhardt, 6000 E. Evans Ave.,
Bldg 3, Suite 201, Denver, CO 80222).  As to "what's it all about?", 
well...about a year ago I called up each of the local Smalltalk user 
groups and asked them to ask there members to make a contribution of 
Smalltalk code to the public domain.  The idea was that one person in
the local groups would put everything together and then send it out to
me.  In return I would put all of the parts together and send the 
complete set back to them, which would then be sent to their members. 
All in all it went pretty well and there were a number of neat ideas
and pretty cool toys.  Probably more important was the conversations
that I had with each of the local groups.  It seems that by themselves
each of the local groups were pretty small and lacked the "critical 
mass" required to provide a really good user group.  Which is why we 
have started to found the International Smalltalk Association (Those 
interested in joining should drop me a note with their mailing 
address).  Don't be surprised if you haven't heard about it yet, it's
just evolving and our first big issue is to start advertising 
ourselves.  Speaking of which, the Rocky Mountain (Denver area) 
regional chapter will be meeting on January 17th at the above address
at 7:00).
