Smalltalk-76 was around 10k lines, though probably you need to leave out the microcode/VM to get that number, I forget. (I have the source I'm thinking of on another computer powered down at the moment.) -80 was definitely bigger but -76 was a lot more like it than -72 was.



Yeah, that seems about right. The Smalltalk-76 VM was pretty small, though. A lot smaller than the -80 VM. I think it's fair to say that Smalltalk-76 had WYSIWYG word processing and graphics, including things like paint programs. Like Smalltalk-80, I think, it's missing spreadsheets, social media, and hypertext browsers.
