I have however read the book "REKURSIV object oriented computer architecture" David Harland, Ellis Horwood ISBN 0-7458-0396-2 which I think is well worth reading. As for users, I think Eliot Miranda (QMC) was intending to port SmallTalk onto it - eliot - is/was that true. If not, I know that Al Dearle - formaly of St Andrews and now in Adelaide used it and has a number of interesting stories to tell. I doubt he bothers to read this group anymore, if you're really desperate for info you can mail me for a contact address. sorry - that's the best I can do. rodger@chorus.fr
