I need to correct two things with the review however. 1) The release is not called "MacSmalltalk" and is not a product. This may sound nit-picky, but it is important to us. The system is known as "The Smalltalk-80 Programming System for the Macintosh" and is available as an unsported release (we do have an e-mail address for answering questions, but seeing as it is staffed only by us, the development group of four people, we can't always get to everything). 2) The reviewer only had a 512k machine and hence only used level 0 of the release. Level 1, which requires 1 Meg or more, is the full Xerox Version 1 plus many extras added by us. Level 1 has nearly all the features of Xerox Version 2 and is not, in our opinion, "less sophisticated than Version 2" as the reviewer states. Also, the reviewer didn't say how to order it. If you want an order form send a request to: Smalltalk Request c/o Lyn Teermer Apple Computer, Inc. 20525 Bandley Drive, MS:3T Cupertino, CA, 95014 She will send you an order form and some additional information. The prices are $50 for the system and $150 for an institution license ($50 for an educational institution). -mark lentczner Smalltalk Group Apple Computer me: mark@apple.CSNET {nsc,ios,voder,dual}!apple!mark st-80: macst@apple.CSNET {nsc,ios,voder,dual}!apple!macst the -- --Mark Lentczner Apple Computer UUCP: {nsc, dual, voder, ios}!apple!mark CSNET: mark@Apple.CSNET
