Well, I'm not specifically looking for a text-based version of  
Smalltalk/V- I just can't remember for sure what that other version  
of Smalltalk is. I purchased it used when I made frequent trips to a  
local computer store scouting for any used software that had to do  
with programming/IDEs, etc. Speaking of which, that is certainly  
something you don't see anymore- computer stores that sell used  
software.  But, unlike my Smalltalk/V disks, I can't find the disks  
of this mysterious other Smalltalk I once purchased.

Jon's mention of Methods sounds familiar, that may have been it.

Definitely interesting! I don't know of any site like that, but it  
would be fun to work on compiling one! Especially if we could get  
access to some of the software and create new screenshots, direct  
comparison shots. Something like a GUIdebook entry for Smalltalks  
over the years ( GUIdebook =  http://www.guidebookgallery.org/ 
screenshots ).

Unfortunately, I can't help you there! I've very fond memories of OS/ 
2 2.1, though I never had Warp 3 or 4.
