..if SmallTalk V/286 had the following features:
1. Upon installation offer the opportunity to select among different
   modes of memory management:
   How much of DOS-mem to use (already offered).
   How much of extended mem to use (partly).
   How much of diskspace to use in a virtual mode (partly in ST V).
2. Some goodies from ST 80 like
   - Categories and supporting Browsers
   - Structured change.logs to support team work and versioning.
   - Consequent support of the MVC-paradigm.
3. Source code available for the compiler part for efficient implementation
   of activity-logging (history lists etc.).
4. Better documentation of goodies (like DAGPane....)
5. Support of OODBs
6. Multi-inheritance

Does this wishlist represent anything general or feasable?
Thank you very much,
- Thomas
