I have been reading some articles by Ted Nelson in Creative
Computing circa 1981 and in these articles he describes a language
called Rosetta Smalltalk. Rosetta was a version of Smalltalk written
for the Exidy Sorceror, and was a fairly complete implementation of
Smalltalk. Rosetta was written by Scott Warren and Dennis Abbe. Has
anyone ever seen a copy of Rosetta? Was Rosetta ever ported to other
machines? What happened to it? Is Rosetta still available, and if so
who can it be obtained from?

In a more general sense, does anyone know of any other
implementations of Smalltalk for micros?

Please send all replies to me as I am not a member of this list. I
will then summarize and post the summary to the net.

I spoke with the people at Rosetta about their smalltalk several
years ago. At that time, it had gone into beta test, and then been
dropped. Seems that they had a Smalltalk 76 system, and Xerox was
promising to release Smalltalk 80 Real Soon Now.
