I went back again to my VisualWorks learning trail but suddenly I asked myself where the solaris x86 version of the virtual machine is ? I decided that I would stop using software at home that cannot run on it. Yeah, I agree it's one more platform for cincom to support with not that many users and blah blah blah. But if the VisualWorks codebase is really portable, it should not take more than an hour to make that port. Until I can get that version, I will stop using it. Just like I did for Eclipse.
Happily, that will be done shortly - the 7.4 release has a VM for Solaris x86 - and the NC will be available for download in about a week (Cincom is closed for the holiday season next week).
