Looks interesting, but I sure hope you'll get your licensing terms in 
order. In particular this:

	"4. You must agree not to port or translate Chronos into any 
programming language whose syntax, semantics and computational model are 
not substantially compliant to the ANSI Smalltalk Language 
Specification.  Porting Chronos to non-Smalltalk programming languages 
is strictly prohibited.  However, you are welcome to enter into 
negotiations with the copyright owner for permission to port Chronos to 
non-Smalltalk programming languages.  In some cases, permission may be 
granted at no cost or other encumberance."

Unless you are trying to find out whether anyone actually reads the 
license (in which case you've earned yourself a pat on the back for 
adding a really creative little clause to your license ;-) I think you 
should seriously rethink the attitude express by this clause. Surely you 
realize that niche languages like Smalltalk would be hurt more than 
other systems if everybody would pick up this attitude and have 
do-not-port-to-languages-i-don't-like clauses.

Cheers,
