Get it at: http://www.sugarweb.com/squeak/ports/os2native/ os2english.htm Squeak is the open source smalltalk. It comes with, or rather is, an entire development environment with many surprises. Squeak applications run bit-identical on just about every OS and hardware architecture in common (and not so common) use. Juan's port includes full network access and handles native sound and uses DIVE for fast video. This latest version of Squeak comes with Midi support, a web browser and server, an email application, shockwave support, a 3D animation system, remote update and authoring, and more. By the way, Squeak is written in itself - you can inspect, change and extend any part of the language, application, or even the virtual machine, while it is running. Smalltalk is a pure OO language that been around for a long time. Squeak is a dialect that is highly compatible with Smalltalk-80 (the historical standard). The team behind Squeak includes the original authors of Smalltalk (including Alan Kay of PARC fame). They mostly hide out at Disney (after living at Apple for a few years). Squeak is evolving rapidly. Squeak should be of special interest to the OS2 community. This is a this is a state-of-the-art cross-platform language and development system. It deserves a careful look by everyone interested in OO programming. It is also way more fun. (WARNING: this stuff is addictive).
