They didn't have the exact same syntax. We do have fragments of original SCI sourec code, courtesy of a few helpful insiders. In particular, calls and sends work a bit differently - there are other minor things as well: (DrawPic(70)) in SCC was originally written as (DrawPic 70) - SCC's syntax looks particularly awkward in conjunction with complex subexpressions. (send Foo:bar(quux (+ quux 1))) was originally written (Foo bar: quux (+ quux 1)) - I'm not sure whether Brian's compiler supports multiple sends at all. Lars
