[self-interest] Questions about Self

[David Ungar]

Thank you for answer and for that pointer. It’s a good one. Let us know if you do that mini-Self. 

We did a toy implementation of Korz atop Self. I believe that Harold Ossher was looking at getting IBM to release it. Send me a message at ungar at mac.com if you want his email address.
