[Cuis-dev] Dan Ingalls "Design principles..."

[Rafael Ignacio Matías Sniechowski]

Hello
I finally found it.
It was in Appendix A "Design Distinctions Behind Smalltalk" from Andres
Valloud's "A Mentoring Course on Smalltalk".
The book in question was Spencer-Brown's "Law of Forms".
Thanks for all the clues!
Cheers
Nacho
