A bit off topic, but just for clarification: "Slang" is not a language. It is just a casual name to refer to the subset of Smalltalk that can be easily translated to a language such as C. Some of this Smalltalk may be written in awkward ways in order to make sure it can be translated to a lower level language, but it is real Smalltalk nonetheless. The VM is not written in Slang, it is written in Smalltalk. When people talk about running the VM simulator, they are talking about running the VM in its native Smalltalk implementation, as opposed to running the code that is more commonly translated to C and linked to the platform support code. There is no psuedo Smalltalk involved, it is the real thing. Dave
