Over 10 years ago I was on a development team at Levi Strauss in San Francisco. 10 programmers and one manager plus 2 contractors. The language we chose to develop a prototype application was SmallTalk and ParcPlace sent instructors from Palo Alto or wherever they were located at them time to give us a 5 day class. I picked it up on the 3rd day and became the lead programmer. About a year later Levi was partnering with a robotice company in Fort Collins Colorado and needed someone that knew smalltalk and I got the assingment. The company was using Digitalk and I wasn't sure how much different in was so because they were loosing a lot of money and were at least a year over due, I was flown first class to Chicago and got a room at a 5 start hotel across the street from where the class was held. To make a long story short, I only wrote one simple program that worked fine and installed a C program their programmer had written. It was all designed to be run at a finishing center (industrial laundromat) in Amarillo Texas. The Colorado company went out of business before anything worked correctly except the digitalk programs. So none of it ever was used and the finishing center was closed.
What I need to know is if I can download Squeak and get it to run on Windows XP. I would appreaciate if you could let me know if this is possible and how to to it ?

Hi Mike,
Yes, Squeak runs on several platforms. Several ways to download: On the upperhand right anywhere on the squeak.org select the Windows link Or go to the Download page: http://squeak.org/Download/ Also, all versions are on the ftp download site: http://ftp.squeak.org/
For installation instructions: http://squeak.org/Documentation/Installation/
There are also plenty of mailing lists to ask questions and tell us about your experiences with Smalltalk. See them here: http://squeak.org/Community/
Good luck and hope to see you on the mailing lists!

Hi Mike,
Yes, Squeak runs on several platforms. Several ways to download:
[SNIP]
I wonder if the question ("does it run on Windows XP?") might be due to the fact that our Download page (http://squeak.org/Download/) only refers to "win32" and not specifically to all of the brand names of Windows?
Perhaps we should add a list inside parenthesis - although that list is pretty darn long, something like:
(Windows 95/98/ME/NT/XP/2000/Vista)
(Noting that CE is different)
Hmmm, does Squeak in fact also run on even older Windows? Not sure, I don't remember :)
regards, Göran

Good question and good point. I don't know. I edited the page with the various Windows versions there anyway.
