Abstract

Smalltalk's great advantage over all of its competitors is the sophistication of its environment and the elegance of its implementation of the Object-Oriented paradigm. One of its disadvantages is that Smalltalk applications cannot be separated from the Smalltalk environment. The completeness of the environment as opposed to its insularity, appear to represent a natural trade-off. This paper describes an initially limited attempt to resolve the trade-off, for the purposes of a particular application, which subsequently grew in scope.
