Cheese for OS/2
Ca. 1998

Cheese is a version of Squeak that uses Presentation Manager windows and widgets instead of the BitBlt virtual environment and resembles a simplified VisualAge Smalltalk as much as it does a traditional Smalltalk environment or Squeak.

Cheese is even less complete than the DIVE port but presents a much nicer programming environment in many cases as you are no longer bound by the limitations of the BitBlt workbench and can move windows around any way you like. Interestingly, like BISS-AWT influenced Swing on Java, Cheese actually had an influence on the SWT Java widgets toolkit as Mr Shingarov later went to work on SWT and cites his work on Cheese as an influence on how SWT was implemented.
