Hi Folks,

I'm working through a copy of "Smalltalk-80 The Language" with Squeak
3.6 and I'm having some problems with the book's simulation examples.
In particular, the DelayedEvent class on pp. 482-483 has methods 'pause'
and 'resume' that contain:
Simulation active stop process.
and
Simulation active start process.

I can't seem to the code anywhere that handles the stop and start messages.

Are there some known errata to this book someplace? I couldn't find
anything at Addison-Wesley.

Thanks for any help,
Kelly

Yeah, those should be "stopProcess" and "startProcess", on p. 486.

I've never heard of any (sounds like a good wiki page :).

Sheesh - I should have been able to figure that out.

Thanks a bunch! Now the simulation examples run ;)
