No idea.

But I'm sufficiently irritated with writing kludges in LSL at the moment, that I'm going to try to find out.

There's no real setup involved in getting Croquet or Squeak installed on a Windows PC at least, and I've made it through the first four chapters of "Squeak By Example" (free downloadable book). May well turn out to be a complete waste of time, but this is all supposed to be fun, and learning new stuff is fun, isn't it?

I'm not qualified to comment on (a) or (b), but regarding (c) let me ask: is Squeak "bad" because its slow, or for some other reason?
