Here are two replies I received. From: Graham Birtwistle > i wrote a package called demos in 1978 which might interest > you. ut has a full manual and a teaching text.... From: decvax!ihnp4!infoswx!ewl (Bill Leggett) > saw your note in netnews comp.lang.smalltalk. i found a book called > System Simulation Programming Styles and Languages by Wolfgang Kreutzer > published by addison-wesley in the intl comp sci series. 1986 > isbn 0-201-12914-0 > > it advocates an object-oriented approach to simulation software building. > it gives examples mostly in a funny sort of pascal, but has significant > examples in an appendix in simula. he also discusses smalltalk and other > languages that support o-o style, but not in depth. the book is written > by a german now at some new zealand university. it has a european sort > of slant, which is ok. it is readable and he tries to keep the examples > interesting ("michael's island love potions").
