I asked a couple of weeks ago whether or not Smalltalk was available for
the ST. It turns out that some people at a university in Germany have
ported Smalltalk 80 to a 4meg ST. BUT... the software is not ready for
release and will probably be expensive. Alternatives at this time include
trying to run Smalltalk 80 on the Magic Sac and Smalltalk/V on the vaporous
IBM emulator. I haven't tried it yet... 

Finally, Smalltalk/V seems to be the choice of many with IBM ATs but I 
don't expect Digitalk to bother implementing for the st when the more
attractive market of Suns and Mac2s is completly open to them (to the best
of my knowledge).
