   In Object Magazine, October 1994, you will find a article reviewing
   the five main commercial Smalltalks: Smalltalk/V Win32, IBM Smalltalk,
   ENFIN, VisualWorks, and SmalltalkAgents. 

   Summary. Good descriptions of the features of these five Smalltalks.
   Including three tables: a) features, b) Performance, c) available
   tools.    A short article with the essential.    Performance  
   measurements table list results for calculations, streams, sets,
   strings; it also contains memory usage, disk space, load time, 
   compatibility against the proposed standard (IBM Common Smalltalk
   Base).

   Hope that can be useful
   Cheers
