It runs on a Cadmus 9230 with System V (sort of), 2 M real & 8 M virtual memory and Cadmus bitmap display (has it's own 68000 on-board, resolution is 1024x800). I don't have experience with any other Smalltalk-80 system and I can't compare it against them. But the benchmarks give a value of 18 % Dorado, so it's about 30 % faster than the Sun. You can obtain further information from Georg Heeg if you're interested in the baby. And here's my own question (which overlaps with the original q's #3 & #4): Where's the right place to exchange Smalltalk-80 programs ? I think net.sources is fine for C programs and shell scripts, but Smalltalk-80 is not too widely used (yet). Should there be a newsgroup net.sources.st80, or should we post sources in net.lang.st80 ? We have done some nice bits (added 'newlabel' to the BlueButtonMenu to change the label of a workspace; modified the clock to run backwards etc.), and we want to do some serious work now. Georg is doing an interface to C-Prolog (we think implementing prolog in Smalltalk is too much overhead). I'm thinking of writing a nice mail- and maybe news(notes)-interface. We want to share programs with others and need a place for it. Please tell us what you're doing, and let's share our experiences.
