Smalltalk/V PM

Smalltalk/V PM (STVPM) for OS/2 v1.x was a Smalltalk development environment from Digitalk that used native PM graphic capabilities.

Smalltalk/V PM provides access to PM features such as Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) and Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL). Smalltalk/V PM is source code compatible with Digitalk's Smalltalk/V 286 and Smalltalk/V Mac products allowing portability of applications while preserving the target machine user interface. It preserves the traditional Smalltalk features of source code availability interactive development, and a large library of pre-existing classes.
