This is a version of Timothy Budd's Little Smalltalk system modified
(slightly) to run under DOS. I made some minor modifications to the source
code to get it to compile and run properly using Turbo C++, Version 1.0.
The modifications can be located by looking for the preprocessor symbol
PCTURBO in the source. Turbo C++ makefiles are included in each
subdirectory with the name MAKEFILE.MAK. The original Unix makefiles are
also in each subdirectory. The one area where I couldn't be much help is
with the documentation, which is in Unix troff format. Either try to make
your way through the documentation in the \docs subdirectory (good luck!),
or get Professor Budd's book, A Little Smalltalk, (Addison-Wesley, 1987).
As far as I can tell the program runs correctly. The fastload and environment
save feature does not work. It looks to be implemented in a very system
specific manner, so I leave the problem to someone with more time to devote
to it than I have. The equivalent of the curses routines and the printAt
message are supported in this implementation. The plotlib graphics are NOT
supported.
This was definately a quick-and-dirty port on my part. Hope the effort proves
useful to someone else.
