Hi Blake, 

Check http://www.jvuletich.org/Cuis/Index.html  . Cuis doesn't try to be exactly like Smalltalk-80, but to retain the spirit while allowing newer stuff and evolution. It is not like a freezed Smalltalk-80, but like Smalltalk-80 evolved until today. In terms of lines of code it is about twice the size of Smalltalk-80, but about one third the size of Squeak. 

Cuis doesn't include MVC, but a very cleaned up and simplified version of Morphic. For example, Cuis doesn't include Etoys, Projects and a lot of other stuff. The idea is to enable anyone to master it.

We have a mail list at http://jvuletich.org/mailman/listinfo/cuis_jvuletich.org . 

Cheers, 

Juan Vuletich

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)

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.
