Smalltalk/X Sample ApplicationsTo give you feeling of how a deployed Smalltalk/X application looks like, we provide some demo examples here.
All packages found here are self-installing executables. When installing, you will be
asked for an installation directory (no system files are added or replaced). The package will only install
files in that directory. It also adds entries to your windows startup
menu to launch the example and also to uninstall it eventually.
The source for all examples is of course included in the newest Smalltalk/X download package.
For now, the list is a bit short, but over time, more examples will hopefully appear. Calculator This is a clone of another calculator which we have been pointed to by
Brett Hallet. He asked if it was possible and how long it would take to write a typical GUI application with ST/X. His mail included a screenshot and a link to http://www.fox-toolkit.org as an example of an excellent GUI.
It took about 3hours to write the calculator from scratch and generate the deployable package.
It
is not fully complete, though. If someone adds the missing
functionality, please return it for credits and inclusion into the next
release. By the way: none of the makefiles or configuration files had
to be written by hand; all was generated by ST/X.Here is what Brett sent as a "Requirement" spec:

and here is the
Calculator Application (Windows).
