Updated TypeLibraryGenerator to V1.5. This includes changes identified by Jean-Jacques Moreau to add implemented interfaces to the Interface class and the CoClass. Added NNTP library (a port of David Pearson's NNTP.lisp) and Dino Rosati's HTTP server, Socket Library (required by my NNTP library) and Wiki code bundled as http6.zip.

FAQ updated.

17/Nov/2002 (update 4)

An example of using the type library code generated from the type library generator. It uses the Wild Tangent web driver so you need to install that first. Screenshot here. Source code available here.

17/Nov/2002 (update 3)

Updated the Type Library Generator to correctly marshal floating point values as per entry in the FAQ.

17/Nov/2002 (update2)

Added a first cut at a SmallScript FAQ.

17/Nov/2002

Added an OpenGL example.

16/Nov/2002

Added some code to generate SmallScript wrappers for COM type libraries. A work in progress.

SmallScript is a dynamic object oriented programming language that is a superset of Smalltalk. It has many new features and compiled executables have an extremely small footprint. For more details see the SmallScript website.

I first used SmallScript back when it first became available, writing a Socket library for it. I then explored other avenues for a year and have started looking at SmallScript again. This page contains some details of my use of SmallScript and hopefully will contain useful libraries and information one day.

As part of my re-visiting of SmallScript I've had to practically re-learn every thing since I've forgotten it all. I've done a quick 'SmallScript by Example' page loosely based on the 'Goo By Example' page (Goo being another great language to use and learn). I'll expand on this page as I learn more about SmallScript.

Resources available here:

• SmallScript by Example
• Unofficial SmallScript FAQ
• Type Library Generator (~8KB Zip file)
• OpenGL Example (~3KB Zip file)
• Wild Tangent Example (~15KB Zip File)
• NNTP Library (a port of David Pearson's NNTP.lisp). Note: needs SocketLib.
• Dino Rosati's http6.zip (HTTP server, SocketLib and Wiki in SmallScript).

Other SmallScript resources include:

• Smallscript Web Site
• Joseph Pelrine's SmallScript Site
• SmallScript static web browser
• Ian Upright's SmallScript Tools (includes the very useful ToolSpace, a set of free open source development tools.
• Astares, a free SmallScript IDE.
• SmallScript News Server

Comments or suggestions can be sent to the author of this page, Chris Double. I'll probably be also following my explorations in SmallScript on my Weblog.
