I thought some versions of Palm / Visor used StrongARM.... and some of the later models of Apple's Newton MessagePad.

I think I've only seen announcements or design studies yet. Hoeft & Wessel's device (discussed briefly on the list last year) seems to be marketed only to corporate customers. > PS anyone ported Squeak to VxWorks? > http://www.windriver.com/products/html/vxwks54.html I think Paul Fernhout got his embedded Squeak (console I/O only?) working on VxWorks.

RE: [Win32] just another VM update (3.1 alpha build 1)

Hi Phiho, > A couple of observations: > > 1/- It takes quite a while to destroy the 11K threads. Yes I noticed that. I'm not entirely sure what the reason is. Could be all threads released at the same time. Could be an issue with Winsockets.

By "memory usage" you mean the amount of memory used by the kernel?! > > that an MSVC build should work out of the box again. Please try. > > Yes, it just works out of the box. Hurray ! Well, thanks to you ;-) Cheers, - Andreas

mouse clicks (spurious) with Squeak mac browser plugin
by John M McIntosh 01 Mar '01

01 Mar '01

I think I only saw that Duane T Williams and Karl Ramberg reported this problem with the macintosh squeak plugin. Moving the mouse produces mouse clicks. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this problem. If so let me know I've a new VM for you all to try. -- -- =========================================================================== John M.

Ned, The source all came through with lf's instead of cr's. Looks a little odd that way. Cheers, Bob

[updates] 3 for 3.1alpha
by Dan Ingalls 01 Mar '01

01 Mar '01

...as follows... - Dan ------------------ 3738syntax9-raa -- Bob Arning -- 28 February 2001 beginnings of ligatures in compound words beginnings of new repeat structure" 3739syntax10-raa -- Bob Arning -- 28 February 2001 - ligatures in unaries only - all vertical blue bars removed" 3740BBSrcEqDestFix-di -- Dan Ingalls -- 28 February 2001 Fixes a bug introduced in changSet 1945BitBltSpeedup, and discovered by Helge Horch. It had resulted in different results in the upper and lower copies displayed during the following loop (the upper copy results from a blt with src==dest, delta y = 0, and delta x > 0, the only case for which the horizontal loop must proceed from right to left): | p q | [Sensor anyButtonPressed] whileFalse: [p _ Sensor cursorPoint. q _ p + (200@0). Display fillWhite: ((q extent: 50@60) expandBy: 10). Display copy: (p extent: 50@30) from: Display to: q rule: 3. Display copy: (p extent: 50@30) from: Display to: q + (0@31) rule: 3. (Delay forMilliseconds: 200) wait]. This change purports to fix the problem for all color depths.

[BUG] BitBlt mixup
by Helge Horch 01 Mar '01

01 Mar '01

Folks, I'm seeing really weird BitBlt artefacts on my Windoze machines, and I can't fix it myself. The following is reproducible on all my machines, systems (NT/98) and VMs (3.0bld2, 3.0bld1, even 2.8bld-a2). I'd be curious whether Mac and Unix users get this, too: Open a *vanilla* 3.0final image, and do not move, collapse nor obscure the "Welcome" window. Open a workspace and do: | p q | p _ 394@261. q _ p + (200@0). Display copy: (p extent: 100@100) from: Display to: q rule: 3. and whip out a MagnifierMorph to examine the result. Here, the first two columns look rather odd. (The "f" of the "for" is missing many bits, while the "e" of the "The" is compressed horizontally.) I thought I was hallucinating -- this couldn't be, someone would have noticed long ago. But the nastiness nastily varies with Squeak's bit depth. With a graphics card in 32bit mode, the Squeak modes behave as follows: 32 bit: effect is hardly noticeable, the "e" is copied, but 1 bit shorter (top line: 2 pixels instead of 3), 16 bit: the "e"'s top line is only 1 pixel wide, 8 bit: the "e" is crippled, 4 bit: the "e" is copied intact, but now the "o" of the "for" is missing completely, 1 bit: perfect. I have rummaged through my archive, and a 2.5 VM (win build 6) with an accompanying 2.5f1543 does not show these artefacts, at any bitdepth. Cheers, Helge

VM couldn't find the Mpeg3Plugin?
by Jie Huang 01 Mar '01

01 Mar '01

Hi all, I have trouble making Mpeg3Plugin work on my Linux machine. The primitiveMPEG3CheckSig keeps failing. I executed "Smalltalk listLoadedModules". It showed that Mpeg3Plugin wasn't loaded. I am running Squeak2.9a-3076. I have Bert's Mpeg3Plugin.so for Linux. It is in the same directory as the .image and .changes files. I filed in the MPEGJan2001Consolidation.2.cs. What's going wrong? Thanks a lot. Jie Huang
