Hi,

There is a Smalltalk being simulated in Self all ready! At one point it was
reportedly the fastest Smalltalk due to the incredible Self compiler!

You could probably just file in 95% of the Squeak code without any changes.
The last bit to make it work might take a bit of effort....

But Why?

Currently Self - on the SPARC - is a dead technology. Self would scream on
the IA64 or Alpha though!!!!!

All the best,

Peter
