PD is preferred, but I'd possibly buy one. Someone else posted details on GNU Smalltalk, but there are 3 other implementations which are worth looking at: 1) ParcPlace Smalltalk-80: this is, needless to say, The Real Thing. Costs about US$3500, but very deep discounts are available to educational institutions. 2) Digitalk Smalltalk/V: versions exist for DOS, the Mac, Windows, and OS/2 PM. Costs range from US$99 to US$499 for various configurations, with a flat 60% discount for educational use. Digitalk's language is pretty much the same as ParcPlace's, but its class library (especially the user interface classes) is very different. 3) Little Smalltalk: a version of the language which is suitable for very small projects. Not quite compatible with Smalltalk-80. PD; you can ftp it from (as I recollect) cs.orst.edu. -- \ Vincent Manis "There is no law that vulgarity and \ Department of Computer Science literary excellence cannot coexist." /\ University of British Columbia -- A.
