The list I wrote in no way reflects my love or hate for any Smalltalk 
dialect. The only reason I don't have ST/X (or GemStone or GNU or Little ST 
or SmallScript or ObjectStudio) on there is because I don't have it 
currently installed on my machine. As I said, it shouldn't be difficult. 
The big problem is getting a compatible file-in/out format for all 
dialects. In spite of the Camp Smalltalk work, we still only have a 
semi-compatible chunk format - neither SIF nor XML nor Pepe cover all dialects.

BTW - my work requires SUnit 3.0. You might want to port that over first. 
Contact me per email for more details.
