If you want to write Motif / Xaw(3d?) applications with minimal effort you should give it a try! Unlike C++ the Smalltalk language is quite easy to learn and to use. Xm++ for GNU Smalltalk builds on GNU Smalltalk version 1.1.1 and should run on all platforms where you are able to build both the Xm++ library code and GNU Smalltalk. This _should_ be on any Un*x/X11 system, but see the release notes for more information. Thanks to Steve Byrne for this Smalltalk implementation! I'm now using it for a couple of weeks and (even with my changes to the virtual machine ;-) it seems to be stable as a rock. There will be no own source distribution of Xm++ for Smalltalk, from now on it will be a part of the regular Xm++ releases. The home site for Xm++ is at the Institute for Applied Computer Science and Information Systems in Vienna, Austria. ftp: sokrates.ani.univie.ac.at (131.130.32.110) login: ftp (anonymous) directory: /pub/Xm++ files: Xm++.0.7_alpha.README Xm++.0.7_alpha.tar.gz 0.7 is _alpha_ because of missing documentation for the many new features it contains. Until this is done you can use it as a bug fix release for 0.6x. I'll also provide binary releases of GNU Smalltalk with the Xm++ library code included that should work out of the box. A first start will be xmst_LINUX.tar.gz and awst_LINUX.tar.gz, (the Motif and Athena versions for Linux), an untested version for SunOS 4.1.x is also available. These files can be found in /pub/Xm++/smalltalk_binaries. Xm++/CommonInteract and supporting components and documentation are copyrighted by the author and partially by the University of Vienna. Code released on the Internet is freely available for any non-profit purposes. If you find it suitable for your commercial project you will have to obtain a license; mail me for info and pricing.
