I have a ProfStef browser in the GlamorousToolkit project.
If you want to give it a try you can download a ready made image from (based on
Pharo 1.2.1):
http://hudson.moosetechnology.org/job/glamorous-toolkit-latest-dev/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/glamoroust/*zip*/glamoroust.zip
Or load it in your image by:
Gofer new
squeaksource: 'glamoroust';
package: 'ConfigurationOfGlamoroust';
load.
(Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfGlamoroust) perform: #loadDefault.
To play with the existing tutorials, start it with:
GTProfStefEncyclopedia open
Cheers,
Doru
