What Roels say reminds me to send again this:

Courtesy of Morphic Team, here you could have a .zip with some of class
hierarchy in new Morphic clasification, I attach the small .jpg for you have
the idea of what is in .zip

This is the complete list, produced from Squeak with GraphViz module from
John Pierce

Possible uses is you could have a clear understanding of Morphic or amazing
friends with wall size versions of jpg and hard copy of NASA job search
about Squeak :=)

Enjoy
