I trained bunch of 4 smalltalkers to push its life ahead. It was a great piece of work, looked slick on VW and according to the Tektronix guys, the engineers preferred it to the C++ version... they were being asked to use.. so it was being revived when I heard last in 2005. But Tektronix itself got bought over not much long after..
