Two drawbacks of SmallTalk seems to be the memory-based architecture (every-
thing used has to enter the image and occupie RAM) and the difficulties
for more than one programmer or user to share resources without the danger
of intrusion into the others workspace. Are there any solutions to
these problems ? Maybe some interface between ST and conventional
database-systems (an ISAM module would be sufficient for us). Please comment
on this.
Thank you very much -
so long - Thomas
