There seem to be at least a few users of BS II out there.  I'd like to suggest
that we use this newsgroup to exchange bugfixes, goodies, etc.  BS II seems to
be about the only version that runs on current hardware aside from the Tektronix
boxes, unless Dandy Smalltalk has been released.

I can lead off with a horror story: Sun 3.0 PILOT has broken BS II in at least two
ways:

        1) Unencoded keyboard input doesn't work in 3.0.  This is generally
acknowledged to be a mistake but it probably won't be fixed in the first full
release of 3.0.  There are a couple of workarounds; anyone care to share them?

        2) I tried picking a form from the display and the VM died in "pwo_rop".
Anyone else seen this?

How many BS II users are out there, anyway?
