There was actually a Smalltalk shell for Unix - it was bundled with the Ardent Titan (cough) "mini-supercomputer". Best feeling keyboard I ever remember using but a very meh system otherwise. Old man shakes fist at clouds...


Wow, that sounds really interesting!

Got any references/links?


It was called Unix Navigator - I don't see any obvious references/links.



I found http://heaveneverywhere.com/Navigator/

Stephen Pope and David Leibs were (and hopefully still are) excellent people.


thats really cool!

too bad the linked video is nowhere to be found....


The video is here: A Navigator for Unix -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3oqgJ1r90c


unfortunately due to the video quality it's very hard to see the details. I doubt the original analog quality was that bad, it either got crippled by digitalization or it had degraded before being digitalized.


nice!
