[squeak-dev] Looking for Squeak-80

Greetings,
I have been following Squeak for years but have been intimidated by its
complexity (projects, worlds, morphic, etc.). I'd love to see a scaled
down Squeak that simply attempts to provide Smalltalk-80 as originally
defined in the original books. It doesn't have to be utterly exact but
much simpler than what is provided in full-blown squeak. I was just
wondering if there is any stripped down version like this. (Not just
stripped down but very similar to the original smalltalk-80)
On another note, in the past I spent a small amount of time trying to
figure out how to write a business application (data entry dialogs, etc.)
with squeak. I purchased the available squeak books but had no luck. They
all show how to do a bunch of fancy graphic maneuvers but none showed how
to create a dialog with controls. (Granted, I didn't spend too much time
with it.) Having a number of business-like examples like modeless and
modal dialogs, controls, grids, etc. would be really great. This way
people could easily start using Squeak at work. A book, "Business
applications with Squeak" is needed.
Thanks.
