Actually, Interval and ByteArray are in Smalltalk-80, too.

If you are even mildly interested in Little Smalltalk then you
should get the book by Budd.  This is a great book (and a good
system) for those who like to see how a system is implemented.
It has great potential for expansion, since you can write your
own classes to do graphics on your machine.  The book would
probably serve well in a course that introduces not-very-advanced
students to language implementation.

Since "A Little Smalltalk" is paperback, it shouldn't be too
expensive, but I don't recall the exact price, and computer
books often seem overpriced.
