Hi folks, this is an update & response about my Smalltalk/V Mac goodies. For all of them, I will be happy to share the code with folks when they are near some usable state. Please send me input if you have any. 1) Music applications: I have done extensive work with music and Smalltalk over the last four years. This includes the 'SoundKit' and noted by Kurt Hebel, as well as MIDI and note schedular classes that made their way into early versions of the HyperScore Tool Kit from Steve Pope. I am not in the process of re-desiging my original work and bringing it into Smalltalk/V. 2) Orgnizations are getting to be done. I've had to abandon my hope of making my organization browser be a subclass of the normal Smalltalk/V CHB browser, as the later wasn't designed to be subclassed (note that the other browsers in the system are NOT subclasses of it!). This is making it take a bit longer to do they system. Thanks for the comments from people: I like the idea of having some organizations added for you! As for 'private' messages, note that this is convention, not part of the formal definition of the language: it doesn't prevent you from sending these messages, it only warns you that there is really good-n-dirty stuff there :-) ! 3) I have a whole bunch of little fixes to the text-editing on the Mac for Smalltalk/V. These fix things like when line selecting, not getting the first character of the subsequent line, and clicking on the far left not inserting spaces and leaving the insertion point in space. I'll be posting these things soon... -mark lentczner apple computer, inc. mark@apple.com
