Hi, In my college they’re teaching SmallTalk right now (which must be nice since all what I’ve heard of it), but using a proprietary implementation as I asked (which is not :/): Cincom VisualWorks, so I’m going to try using GNU Smalltalk instead.
However I noticed (but I was told it’s not relevant until next semester) some stuff such as a “Dialog” class (with calls such as “Dialog warn:'error'” or “x := Dialog request:'a value'”, where x is a string, from what I’m reading in their slides) wasn’t existing in GNU Smalltalk. I’m under Debian (I’ve read there are some GUI issues on some distros, I’d like to check how it is here, maybe try to fix it): is there some way of achieving, as simply as possible, a similar behavior (as the one I could guess: creating a dialog to prompt for or say something), maybe with GTK? Would it be trivial or not to have similarly named classes/symbols (I’m unsure about the terminology, I’m from lisp) based on those? Thank you for any help! _______________________________________________ help-smalltalk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-smalltalk
