Second, Squeak has not been around for 20 years (though somewhat miraculously, a core [corps, corpse] of some of the original Smalltalkers are still around, disguised as Squeakers). Finally, it was FRED Brookes who wrote "The Mythical Man Month." (although I would give anything to see what Mel Brooks might do with this). Better luck in the future, :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) Jerry. ____________________________ Jerry L. Archibald systemObjectivesIncorporated ____________________________

Squeak article in MacTech Magazine
by Jeff Szuhay 04 Apr '01

04 Apr '01

Just received MacTech Magazine, Vol 17, No. 03, March 2001 and to my surprise there is a relatively nice 4 page article (pp. 74-78) about Smalltalk and Squeak. This article might be on the mactech web site but I haven't checked yet. What was somebody saying about "being ready for prime time?" This will probably clinch it but many in the Mac community don't even know what Smalltalk is. Now, if Byte could only do a 20-year annivisary issue on Squeak (a la Mel Brookes and his "The Mythical Man Month, 25th Anniversary edition." 8-) -- ************************************************** Jeff Szuhay A randomly-directed www.szuhay.org chaotical wetware pattern jeff(a)szuhay.org recognizer/generator.

UNIX 2.8 and/or 3.0 downloads?
by Richard A. O'Keefe 04 Apr '01

04 Apr '01

I have: Squeak 2.7 on Sparc Solaris 2.8 Squeak 2.7 on MacOS 8.6 Squeak 2.8 on MacOS 8.6 I want: Squeak 2.8 on Sparc Solaris 2.8 - I suppose I can still use my Squeak-V2 sources file - need image for 2.8 final - need changes for 2.8 final - need VM for Solaris 2.8 (sound would be nice but I can manage without) At a pinch, I will settle for Squeak 3.0, but I'd rather have 2.8. I've been directed to Ian Piumata's site (no Squeak 2.8 for Sparc) and SourceForge (no released files at all) and Inria (dead link) and a site in Germany (had 2.8pre3 but not clear where the image file was). I have just spent most of the last hour clicking around the Squeak websites (encountering quite a few dead links) in a vain search.

New(?) Carbon VM and Mac OS X
by Eric Scharff 03 Apr '01

03 Apr '01

Perhaps everyone else is doing this already, but its new to me... I am migrating from OS 9 to OS X, and in the process I decided to build a Carbon version of Squeak 3.0 from the sources using CodeWarrior 6.0. My build is a CFM-Carbonized Squeak, meaning it works either on MacOS machines that have the "CarbonLib" library installed (I tested with MacOS 9.0.4 and CarbonLib 1.0.4) or with Mac OS X (I tested with MacOS X final 1.0). I can make the build available if anyone is interested. It works just fine under OS 9, and it works under OS X (without needing OS X's classic mode). There is one serious problem under OS X, though--the VM seems to get a constant stream of mouse clicks. Somehow it seems the logic for events believes that the mouse is always pressed. I haven't had the time to look into this yet, and if anyone has any pointers I'd appreciate them. BTW: I downloaded the Marcel's Cocoa port for OS X final, but for some reason it crashes every time I choose "Save and Quit." I've yet tried to debug or recompile. My goal isn't to complain about the Cocoa port. In my development situation, I need a Squeak that I can put on a disk and easily migrate between OS X and OS 8 & 9 machines. This is my second carbon port (the first was one of my own applications, and required considerably more work.) However, the Squeak Carbon port was very easy (thanks all!) and certainly more fun. :) -Eric

[GOODIE] NK-RefrigeratorMagnets
by Ned Konz 03 Apr '01

03 Apr '01

from preamble: "Change Set: NK-RefrigeratorMagnets Date: 3 April 2001 Author: Ned Konz This is a little demo of another use of my ConstraintMorphs. It lets you play with words in little squares that scoot out of each others' way on the desktop. This requires the NewConnectors change set, which you can get as part of the NK-NewConnectorsDemo project on Bob's Super Swiki. Make a new project to file me into unless you want lots of little morphs on your current desktop. " (Smalltalk includesKey: #NCConstraintMorph) ifFalse: [ self error: 'Must have NewConnectors change set loaded' ].!
