I seem to recall Stephane writing that someone (David N. Smith?) ported
most if not all of it. I recommend asking Didier (didier at ieee.org) about it.
In the meantime, you might try the "Filing IBM Smalltalk Applications into
Squeak" item at <http://www.dnsmith.com/squeak/index.html> and see if it
helps. Haven't tried it myself yet, though.
Bystanders, feel encouraged take a look at the paper equivalent of
<http://www.mkp.com/books_catalog/catalog.asp?ISBN=1-55860-679-3>
next time you're near a dead-tree shop. It is a great book IMHO, despite
some printing glitches. Show it to your J-enabled friends, the bilingual
nature of the book might whet their appetite.
Here's the true story I forwarded to Didier: When I had ordered the book
at my friend's store, he had put it prominently on display for a week or so
while he waited for me to pick it up. (For one, it has a beautiful cover,
too.) He told me this when I finally got around: Many people had noticed
it, leafed through it and commented that wow, it had been a long time since
they had seen a book with real technical and mathematical content, where
books like "Learn FooScript in 5 easy steps" abound.
Cheers,
Helge
