The following notes were prepared by Joe Waters, disk
librarian of Current Notes.
N O T E: To fit all the files on a single disk, some had to
be compressed. The folder "BIN" has the arc'd file
"LSTBIN.ARC" which contains "parse.ttp" and "ue.ttp (an early
version of MicroEmacs). The folder "DOCS" contains the body
of the manual (MANBODY) and three appendix files all combined
in the arc'd file "LSTDOC.ARC". The main "ARC" program and
its docs are included on this disk to allow you to expand
these compressed files. To expand the documentation, for
example, move the LSTDOC.ARC file to a blank, newly formatted
disk along with the ARC.TTP program. Then double-click on
ARC.TTP and, when asked for parameters, enter "x LSTDOC.ARC"
which is the comand to eXtract files from the archive
LSTDOC.ARC. Further options are explained in the ARC.DOC
file. You must expand the file PARSE.TTP in the BIN folder
to get LITTLE SMALLTALK to work. All the example programs are
in the arc'd file LSTEXA.ARC.
NOTE: I have added the ARCSHELL programs to this disk to
make it a little easier to unarc things. However, to do so,
I had to move four files from the root directory and place
them in smtalk.arc. The files are ST.TTP (the main small
talk program), SYNTAX, INSTALLG, and BUGS. Sorry about all
the compressing, but that seemed better than making this a
two-disk system.
Below are some of the original "readme" docs:
J.W.

The port to the Atari ST was done by Dave Clemans, based on
the Amiga port distributed on "Fred Fish" disk #37.
The "Little Smalltalk" executable is "st.ttp" in the root
directory of this disk. To run at all, you must have the
following directories and files:
\prelude\standard
\tmp
\bin\parse.ttp
\lib
"Little Smalltalk" needs write access to the disk that it
runs on.
Special notes:
The port was done using the "Mark Williams" C compiler.
The ")!" command executes commands directly and does not use
a shell. Everything passed to ")!" must therefore be the full
pathname of an executable file, along with any arguments that
that program might need.
The default editor is "\bin\me.ttp".
Documentation for "Little Smalltalk" is in the folder
\docs.
Cursor positioning primivites are not supported (yet...).
Plotting primitives are not supported.
To re-build, set desired parameters in \src\env.h
(particularly pathnames), and run make. Once that finishes
put st.ttp (Little Smalltalk executable) wherever you wish.
Then go to \parse and run make, putting the result
"parse.ttp" into the pathname that you specified for it in
\src\env.h. Then go to \prelude and run make. To re-iterate
what was said above, this disk was built using the "Mark
Williams" C compiler package and might not compile under
other packages. Also, there is not enough free space on the
disk to rebuild a prelude or to compile anything; you'll have
to move things around to re-compile.
NOTE: The contents of this disk were constructed from the
three CompuServe files listed below:
LSTBIN.ARC
Little Smalltalk from the University of Arizona. To
install: on disk with \lib, \tmp directories, put parse.ttp
in \bin\parse.ttp, put standard into \prelude\standard, put
your editor into \bin\me.ttp. Put st.ttp into \. Run "st.ttp"
and your in Little Smalltalk. Exit via ^z. [NOTE: program has
already been installed on this disk.]
LSTDOC.ARC
Arc file of documents for Little Smalltalk from the
University of Arizona. This is an interpretive, non-graphics
Smalltalk like language.
LSTEXA.ARC
This is an ARC file containing some short example programs
for Little Smalltalk from the University of Arizona.
