Keywords: Smalltalk, user interface Message-ID: <1064@tuhold> Date: 28 Jun 88 20:26:09 GMT Organization: Institut f. Angewandte Informatik, TU Vienna Lines: 28 According to some of the email sent to me, info concerning the Mystery Of The Fourth Smalltalk Book is of interest to a lot of people besides myself. Therefore, here is a summary of the answers I received: The book (_Smalltalk-80: Creating a User Interface and Graphical Applications_, formerly announced by Addison-Wesley) has not been published yet and won't be for quite some time (if ever). Apparently, this is so because the Smalltalk team are not so happy about the Model-View-Controller approach to the ST-80 user interface and are currently examining new paradigms. Written material for those who don't want to wait for the book: Apparently, ParcPlace Systems has a report on the MVC that they give away for the asking. So, ask them, or your local ST-80 distributor. I do not know how much material concerning the MVC is contained in the new Wiener/Pinson book, but yet another book which is to come out soon, allegedly dwells upon it in some detail. Thanks again to those who answered my initial question Markus Stumptner Technical University of Vienna Paniglgasse 16, 1040 Vienna, Austria UUCP: tuvie!tuhold!markus
