It is suppose to run under Apollo DN570, DN580, and DN590 workstations with 9.5 or a higher 9.x version. (Ref. 'The Smalltalk-80 Programming System,' version 2.3, Apollo Workstation, Installation Notes page 1) We have installed Smalltalk-80 2.3 on the Apollo 3000, 3500, and 4500 running the OS DOMAIN 10.2. We have had some problems. The problems seems to stem from the new file structure in the 10.x OS. I am unable to create directories from within Smalltalk-80. When I try to create a directory I get something which looks like a circular link. I have also had some minor problems reusing the save image file. >From what I can tell the rest of Smalltalk seems to be working fine. >Has ParcPlace Smalltalk-80 version 2.5, >(ObjectWorks for Smalltalk-80) been ported to the >Apollo and if so does it run under SR10.2 ? >... and SR10.1 ? >If it has not been ported to the Apollo, anyone know >when it will be; indeed *if* it will be ... > The last I heard was that there was some discussion between Apollo (Hewlett-Pachard) and ParcPlace as to who was going to pay for the port to 10.x. Whether it was 2.3 or 2.5 Smalltalk-80 I do not know. I would like to get in contact with anyone running or interested in running Smalltalk-80 on an Apollo system under OS DOMAIN 10.x. Perhaps if there is enough interest we could influence either Apollo or ParcPlace to port Smalltalk-80 2.5 to the Apollo workstation. I can be contacted at either my email address or at (404) 894-8960. -- HUGHES,STANLEY Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 uucp: ...!{decvax,hplabs,ncar,purdue,rutgers}!gatech!prism!sh25 Internet: sh25@prism.gatech.edu -- LIEBESKIND,SUSAN H Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 uucp: ...!{decvax,hplabs,ncar,purdue,rutgers}!gatech!prism!sl11 Internet: sl11@prism.gatech.edu
