Command Line In 4.0

I just wanted to say that one of the things I am most excited
about in Dolphin 4.0 is the ease with which one can write command line
programs. I know ST is mostly known for it graphical ability, but this
will really come in handy for me on a daily basis.

        I write headless Java all day, and I frequently need data
conversion programs and whatnot that Java is just too cumbersome for. I
write most of my utility programs in Python or JPython (and occasionally
Scheme). I am looking forward to being able to write some of my utility
programs in the future in ST. (J)Python is really nice, but there are
some ST idioms that just aren't there.

        Thanks OA for a great product!

Joey

Good. In which case you will be pleased to know that we will be publishing a
new education centre very soon which includes a section on Dolphin 4.0's new
ability to construct command line apps. I'm looking forward to seeing how
people use it.

Seems alright at this end. Are you using Netscape? If so, you will need to
use Netscape 6 and right click on the link to choose "Save As" from the
context menu. Earlier versions of Netscape can't download MSI files as
binary and seem to insist on treated them as text..

No, I was using IE 5.5, but it seems to be ok now.  Must have been a
glitch along the path somewhere - page not found error.

I agree with the comment about command line programming, and specifically
the use of a #main method.  Looks like Dolphin is leading the way in
making Smalltalk easily useful to non-smalltalkers.  Can I (yet again)
throw in the phrase 'future Linux support' along with 'WINE' and 'TWIN'
(Windows porting tools) to make Dolphin more acceptable in my
organisation?

I __love__ the new command line support in Dolphin 4.0.  I currently write
and maintain many, many perl scripts which need to be run unattended by a
job scheduler.  I am now writing these in Smalltalk.  Dolphin has now
eradicated both VB and perl from my toolbox!  As soon as I can check out the
support for writing COM DLLs, maybe C++ will fall also.

What!? Is this possible without the deployment kit?

Although I am unsure which particular feature you are addressing,  I
couldn't comment authoritatively anyway because I only own the professional
version.  I would imagine that you would need the deployment kit, however.
