Hi all,

Is their current any implementation of Self for the Wintel environment? I have been looking for quite a bit and have not come up with anything.

Thanks, Charlie

There are two plans for it, but no timetables yet. Douglas Atique has been studying the Self 4 virtual machine sources for the past few months with the intention of porting them to Windows. It would be easier to first port Self to some Unix on the PC (so only the compilers need to be changed, not the OS and graphics primitives) and then port that to Win32. Gordon Cichon has done most of the work for the first part and has made available a partially working Self for Linux:

The second project is my own tinySelf. It isn't finished yet and currently only runs on top of Self 4 (and so needs a Sparcstation). When it is done, it will be ported to the PC. The first port will be to Linux, then to the bare hardware and finally to the Win32 platform as well.

Finally, while it won't be specific to the Wintel architecture, you might be able to use the JSelf implementation:
