  95. OVERVIEW  DESCRIPTION                                                           
  96.           ROBUST STANDARDS-COMPLIANT SMALLTALK LANGUAGE                         
  97.           Smalltalk is a pure object-oriented programming language that         
  98.           supports the object-oriented principles of polymorphism, data         
  99.           encapsulation, and inheritance.  It includes a Smalltalk virtual      
  100.           machine, a base image, and general environmental access such as file, 
  101.           thread, and networking.  The product shields developers from complex  
  102.           and low-level functions such as GUI, communication APIs, and memory   
  103.           management.                                                           
  104.                  Smalltalk is fully 32-bit capable and enforces Smalltalk       
  105.           language standards.  The product includes a fully-documented          
  106.           application program interface (API) based on industry standards such  
  107.           as POSIX for filing systems and MOTIF for GUI widgets.  It is also    
  108.           based on the proposed common Smalltalk standards that were submitted  
  109.           to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1993.          
  110.                  The use of the standards is a major benefit to development     
  111.           teams since it means that Smalltalk developers are able to use the    
  112.           same terminology and application protocols used in other languages.   
  113.           The use of standards also leverages a corporation's investment in     
  114.           standards training and documentation.  Developers who are familiar    
  115.           with industry standards such as MOTIF, POSIX, and ANSI can continue   
  116.           to use those skills.

  122.                                                                                 
  123.                  Smalltalk supports the principle of change.  It provides a     
  124.           development style of experimentation.  There is a seamless            
  125.           integration between the development environment and the run-time      
  126.           environment.  It is easy to make a change in the code and immediately 
  127.           have the application up and running to see the effects of that        
  128.           change.                                                               
  129.                  Smalltalk enables businesses to take full advantage of the     
  130.           increasing power of the desktop.  The product provides advantages     
  131.           inherent to object-oriented technology such as:                       
  132.           o   Improved application availability, quality, and maintainability   
  133.               at a reduced cost                                                 
  134.           o   Extensive reuse of proven components that shortens development    
  135.               time and leads to more robust, error-free applications            
  136.           PORTABILITY ACROSS SUPPORTED PLATFORMS                                
  137.           Smalltalk allows developers to create applications that are fully     
  138.           portable across supported platforms without modification.  Smalltalk  
  139.           includes a comprehensive class library that facilitates code reuse    
  140.           and portability.  This library is implemented across multiple         
  141.           operating system platforms.  Programs written to these interfaces are 
  142.           portable across the support platforms without modification.  The      
  143.           resulting ported applications take on the look and feel of the native 
  144.           platform.                                                             
  145.           INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT                                    
  146.           Smalltalk supports an iterative application development approach for  
  147.           dealing with mission-critical workstation applications.  The          
  148.           integrated development environment improves application developer     
  149.           productivity by allowing programmers to rapidly develop               
  150.           object-oriented applications.  Programmers are able to write code,    
  151.           run it, debug it, and then repeat the process to quickly build        
  152.           applications -- without ever leaving the Smalltalk environment.  This 
  153.           capability allows programmers to easily prototype applications, then  
  154.           work iteratively with end users to ensure that the applications meet  
  155.           requirements.  This approach allows developers to validate customer   
  156.           expectations throughout the development cycle.  It helps to avoid     
  157.           rework and to maximize reuse and customer satisfaction.               
  158.                  Smalltalk eases the transition to object-oriented programming  
  159.           by providing a scalable and upgradeable application development       
  160.           environment that supports either a single, stand-alone programmer     
  161.           producing personal productivity applications or an entire team of     
  162.           programmers creating complex, line-of-business applications.  The     
  163.           Smalltalk integrated development environment includes:                
  164.           o   The Smalltalk language                                            
  165.           o   An object model that objects can be defined from                  
  166.           o   A set of reusable objects                                         
  167.           o   A complete set of programming tools: editor, browser, compiler,   
  168.               debugger, and inspector                                           
  169.           o   A run-time environment                                            
  170.                  Smalltalk Team allows development of large-scale corporate     
  171.           applications by providing shared access and control of development    
  172.           data in a heterogeneous environment.  It enables a team of            
  173.           professional programmers to work on the same application              
  174.           simultaneously, managing applications, versions, and processes in an

  193.           PRODUCT POSITIONING                                                   
  194.           Smalltalk is an important and emerging object-oriented language in    
  195.           the industry.  Its usage in business and commercial application       
  196.           development is growing rapidly.  IBM believes strongly in the future  
  197.           of object-oriented technology.  Smalltalk is a strategic language for 
  198.           IBM and is developed as an ANSI standard, open, multiple-platform     
  199.           language.                                                             
  200.                  Smalltalk and Smalltalk Team are part of the same product      
  201.           family as VisualAge.  The VisualAge environment includes Smalltalk as 
  202.           its base language but offers additional features such as visual       
  203.           construction-from-parts, ready-built visual components, and           
  204.           preexisting code access.  Smalltalk is targeted at those customers    
  205.           who want to do object-oriented development directly with the          
  206.           Smalltalk language and development environment.  This development may 
  207.           be with Smalltalk only or in combination with VisualAge.  Class

  248.           As part of its continuing commitment to object-oriented technology,   
  249.           IBM plans to provide Smalltalk for MVS.  The intent is to provide a   
  250.           Smalltalk environment and base image to support the development of    
  251.           Smalltalk applications that execute in key MVS environments.  This    
  252.           Smalltalk implementation will be designed to exploit SOM technology   
  253.           on MVS to ease reuse of object classes and interoperability across    
  254.           programming languages.  It is planned to be part of the same product  
  255.           family as VisualAge and is intended to complement VisualAge
