> Envy is the most powerful of them all.

Do you know of online resources to get a feel for Envy? I'm not finding much, mostly obscure hints that this awesome version control system exists, without anything concrete. There are excerpts of a book on Google Books, but that doesn't help much either.

I've stumbled onto Envy earlier and I agree with you, there's not much out there about it except people talking about how much they love it[0].

I found this book[1] on Amazon in case you or anyone else is interested.

None whatsoever. This is the worst thing about Smalltalk (with the exception of the open-source ones) - there is almost no useful documentation freely available.

I was forced to buy "Mastering ENVY/Developer" by Pelrine, Knight and Cho. It is well worth the money though.
