Hi Eberhard --

The Vivarium project was sponsored by Apple and ran approximately 
from 1986 to 1993 -- so it is long gone. We used Digitalk Smalltalk/V 
(for "Vivarium") for many of the things we did.

We eventually plan to bring some of the ideas back to life (such as 
having children do from scratch authoring of AL objects that can 
participate in ecologies of various kinds). Some of the environments 
were shown at O'Reilly as part of the Croquet demos.

There are a few words and pictures about the Vivarium in my Sept 1991 
Scientific American article (see the html version at: 
http://www.squeakland.org/school/HTML/sci_amer_article/sci_amer_01.html).

Cheers,

Alan
