The third book, "The Interactive Programming Environment", is supposed to get to stores in November, but definitely this year. It may even make it on time... The statement from Joe Falcone that he has a copy of a draft of this is a little misleading; his copy is one complete rewrite back. It is fairly complete, in that it describes the system for which he has a license, but his system is also out of date, being the so-called version1. The system that you can get a license for now is being called version 2. This system includes some very substantial extentions and modifications over version 1, including support for multiple inheritance, multiple compilers, a complete reworking of the classes supporting the standard system views, added functionality in many of those views, a spelling correction facility for fixing many syntax errors, and the addition of several new utilities, including a system change manager. The fourth book, "Creating a User Interface and Graphical Applications", contrary to what even some people in the group are aware of, HAS been started by Adele Goldberg. She showed me a folder full of writing on it. However, she points out that all of her books were written three times before being released and book four is still working on number one.
