To that end, I have some rudimentary comments regarding smalltalk. Remember, though, that I have no prior knowledge of smalltalk. :-) The simplest question is: can someone mail me some brief documentation about the use of smalltalk (perhaps a paper or something) or at least a reference or two? Also, I hear so much about smalltalk that I'm getting interested in having it on our system, regardless of whether I use it for my thesis. Where's the logical place to go to get smalltalk? I would be specifically looking for it on Suns, MIPS boxes and IRIS's. Any hints or names to mail to in this regardwould be greatly appreciated. Fil Salustri fil@me.toronto.edu
