SimTalk was developed at Tektronix.  For awhile it was a
regular Tektronix product, and they sold it both for their
own version of Smalltalk-80, and also for the ParcPlace
version.  My guess is that it is no longer a produce, though
I might be wrong.  If it is no longer a product, you might
try Smalltalk Express, a Chicago-based company that has
advertised in a number of OOP-related magazines that they
are selling the Tektronix Smalltalk libraries.  Even if
you are not interested in SimTalk, it is probably worth
your while to talk to Smalltalk Express, because Tektronix
had lots of nice stuff.  In particular, Smalltalkers
should be interested in HotDraw, a framework for graphical
editors.
