The only two Smalltalks for the Mac that I know of are QKS SmalltalkAgents
(which I use) and version from ParcPlace. Both are over $200.00. I do know
that QKS has an educational program. Also QKS is a work in progress! I have
heard of one or two Shareware versions but I have not used them.

I hope this helps,


Robert
