Hello All,
I think I have delivered the message that I intended to. Perhaps this thread has run it's course. I appreciate y'all taking the time to respond. The information you provided has been helpful. I have taken another look at the Smalltalk XY project. It pretty much does everything I need. I would be picking up around 12k lines of C code to maintain, but the code looks to be fairly clean and portable. I may start my little project with that. I don't get the impression there is very much interest in the things that I've mentioned here. Anyway, it may turn out to be kind of fun to tweak things in a Smalltalk VM ;-)
I suspect that your interests and mine coincide on 2 out of 3 points - I hope that wasn't lost in the noise. In particular: I am very interested in a REPL interface to a running Smalltalk image (hence my interest in Coral). I don't particularly care about a _GUI_ IDE, but if the Cusp folks can have an Eclipse plugin using swank to talk to an SBCL image, I see no impediment to doing the same for Smalltalk: swank provides a common image-side adapter, and to that you can attach your Eclipse, IntelliJ, emacs... or just a plain old SSH connection. frank
Thanks Again, Gerry
