V9.0 System Requirements
This document summarizes the hardware and software supported by VA Smalltalk 9.0. If you are running the EMSRV library manager program you should refer to EMSRV requirements (below)
Operating System Summary
VA Smalltalk v9.0 is a Windows only release. UNIX specific information pertains to v8.6.3.
This table shows the release level(s) of operating systems that are supported by VA Smalltalk v9.0 and the associated software requirements. Each operating system release is followed by the VA Smalltalk release which first introduced support for it (if no VA Smalltalk release is indicated, support for the operating system release was provided with VisualAge Smalltalk V6 or earlier).
The minimum hardware requirements are the same as those documented by the operating system platform that VA Smalltalk is running on with the additional requirement of 75 MB (plus 65 MB for on-line documentation) for Client installs and 300 MB (with additional disk space for growth) for Manager installs. On UNIX operating systems, VA Smalltalk requires a color display supported by X-Window System Version 11 Release 5 and OSF/Motif Version 1.2.
Note:
Significant performance improvements will be observed with systems that exceed the minimum hardware requirements.
