Many thanks for taking time to answer to the previous questions.
Introducing the new ones:
In function/, there is jolt/, jolt-burg/, jolt-vpu/. AFAI, jolt-vpu
is a first attempt, and is moribund. I don't know the relationship
between jolt and jolt-burg. However, a
$ find . -name Makefile | xargs grep "jolt-burg/"
gives some results, though
$ find . -name Makefile | xargs grep "jolt/"
gives nothing interesting, so I guess jolt/ is moribund as well.
can you confirm ?
Now I understand that jolt contains/subsumes idc. However, I still
don't understand the relationships between jolt, Coke and PEG. I
guess a sentence or two would suffice.
Aparte: maybe it's because of the naming. I had a hard time when
exploring squeak to figure out what monticello, squeakmap,
squeaksource etc were refering. I think it's the same on this one.

Why is that ? can't I program OO graphical stuff with LOLA ?
The object/ and function/ directories include incompatible object
libraries (the biggest difference is that the one in object/st80
has 1-based arrays and the one in function/object has 0-based
indexing).
The object/st80 library is moribund; it's only purpose is to
support the idc compiler. As the idc compiler is pulled into Jolt
(to make Coke -- it's the real thing ;-) the st80 library will
become irrelevant (although I am slightly tempted to keep it, make
it ANSI compliant, anc call it 'Standard Smalltalk'). New code
should use the function/object library. Eventually everything
above function/ will be subsumed by stuff inside function/ and a
'mv function/* .; rmdir function' will be issued.
Cheers,
Ian
