<div>> subStrings: is available on VA Smalltalk. AFAIK it conforms to the ANSI spec.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>subStrings: in VA Smalltalk takes a single character as an argument, not a collection of characters. I guess I'll double-check before I open my mouth next time :-)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I also checked Dolphin and their implementation matches VA Smalltalk -- it takes a single charactor parameter.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>However, having discovered this anomoly, I will change our implementation to take either a single character or a collection of characters to maintain our claim of conforming to the ANSI spec.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As far as running the ANSI Test Suite, I don't think such a thing really exists. The one created as a CampSmalltalk project is incomplete and has no home or owner (the SourceForge project that claims to hold the code actually has only the base SUnit code) -- the only way I know to get it is to contact someone who got it from someone else .... The version I have only contains stubs for the subStrings: tests.</div>
