Several friends of mine work at OTI (yes I *am* a name-dropper...:), but
that doesn't mean I know any of this for a fact.  Still...

Andreas Baer asked:
>Dear Smalltalkers
>I heard that OTI does have an own Smalltalk programming language.
>What I wanted to know is the following:
>0. Is this correct? If yes:
Yes.

>1. In what respect does it differ from the other available products (VWS 2.0,
>ST/V, IBM Smalltalk)? Is the IBM Smalltalk the Smalltalk from OTI?
I was led to believe that OTI *did* write the IBM Smalltalk.

>2. Which plattforms and operating systems are currently supported?
I think OS/2 and Windows (various versions).

>3. How about database access? Which DBMS systems are supported?
Dunno.

>4. Are there possibilities to call other languages (C/C++) from within the Smalltalk code?
I think so.

>5. Are there any application builder tools (Menu editor, Interface Builder,
>Query Editor, Data modeler, etc.) available?
Dunno.

>6. What are the pricing terms of the product?
Dunno, but I think it's competitive.  For more info you could call OTI
at 1-613-820-1200.
