Thanks to Ralph Johnson and Bill Voss, MoDE is now available via the
University of Illinois's Smalltalk Archive (st.cs.uiuc.edu).  I am sorry
about the problems many of you had with the ftp service of UNC (they are
in the process of changing the ftp server).  Hope this would be more
convenient for you.

MoDE is a UIMS (user interface management system) for Smalltalk.
For short introductions, please see my papers in OOPSLA'89 and '90.
The PostScript file MoDE.ps, included in the archive, contains detail 
information of the system.

It is strongly recommended that you also request the videotape of MoDE
from textlab@cs.unc.edu (free of charge).

This is a prototype.  The image is frozen in July of 1990.  Currently
there is no support for it.

Many improvements and bug fixes have been made in a follow-up project.
Lacking a better name, let's name it "MoDE II" for the time being.  
MoDE II is designed to be portable between Smalltalk 80 (both R2.5 and 
R4.0) and Smalltalk/V.  It has an open architecture for 
including native applications. We had some initial success in including 
X applications to be treated as modes.  MoDE II also makes use of native 
capabilities when possible.  For example, in the PM implementation, 
it uses the PM transformation functions instead of computing them 
inside Smalltalk.  

The general availability of MoDE II has yet to be decided.
