Squeak

Squeak is an innovative and free Smalltalk system from http://www.squeak.org. Here you find some stuff that I share with the Squeak community.

I have taken the responsibility to maintain the MVC part of Squeak. As part of that responsibility I write a tutorial and a documentation for MVC. For details, look at: MVC tutorial (preliminary version).

New for Squeak 3.8:

Multilingualization Resources: Here you find an experience report and a strike font that offers almost complete support for Unicode BMP.

For earlier Versions of Squeak:

Liouville is an almost finished project to implement a package for symbolic and numerical mathematics in Squeak.

Currently the following pakages are available on this site: (all for Squeak 3.4 and Squeak 3.6)

• A modernised variant of the traditional MVC-interface that I mostly use.
  For lack of a better name this project is called "ThirdWay". A still unfinished but usable version is available for download; some screenshots are placed on a separate page.

  Here are the downloadable files:

  • TW.zip (86 KBytes) (last updated at: Jan 04, 2004)
    A change set that contains the complete code of "ThirdWay".
    For Squeak 3.7: TW37.zip (86 KBytes) (last updated at: Jan 04, 2004)

  • TWTest.zip (27 KBytes) (last updated at: Nov 15, 2003)
    A file with small demos.

  • Still missing - but soon coming:
    A tutorial - a collection of HTML-files

• Font Editors

  Currently I have a font editor that is based on ThirdWay. The change set FontEditor.zip (26 KBytes) (last updated at: Nov 15, 2003) has an uncompressed size of 138 KBytes. Some screen shots of the font editor are placed on a separate page. For an explanation of how to use the font editor, please downlad this User Manual (Manual.zip) (32 KBytes) (last updated: Jun 17, 2003). The user manual is an html document with some screen shots. It is recommended to unpack the file "Manual.zip" into a separate folder. Note that you have to install ThirdWay before you can install this editor.

  • Here is the same font editor for the Morphic GUI:
    MorphicFntEd.zip (27 KBytes) (last updated at: Jan 11, 2004) has an uncompressed size of 141 KBytes.
    For Squeak 3.7: MorphicFontEditor.1.cs.gz (26 KBytes)
    (Description) (last updated: Feb 23, 2004)

• OpenType Viewer
  A Morphic application to explore the contents of *.ttf and *.ttc files. This may be useful for the current multilingualization project of the Squeak community.

• Support for Unicode
  • Here you find references to Unicode Resources.
  • My own unfinished Unicode project for Squeak is here: Squeak Unicode Project
