HP Distributed Smalltalk

A version of Smalltalk created by the HP company in the early 90's, that featured a distributed CORBA based object system. Initial version ran on HP-UX and Microsoft Windows 3.x, but after some input from IBM eas ported to SOM and made available for AIX and OS/2. Code is fully abstracted from the host OS so an application written for one host OS will be portable to others without any code change.
