[Cuis-dev] Hello, new Cuis smalltalk user here!

[Joseph Turco]

Hello all. Hope your having a good day.

Could someone tell me where Cuis smalltalk differers from pure smalltalk-80? I understand Cuis is supposed to be close to smalltalk-80 (which I like due to simplicity), but the reason I ask this question, is, could one read "the blue book" to learn Cuis, or is it better to run an original smalltalk-80 VM (like the C++ implementation and the crosstalk bare metal for raspberry pis)?

Thanks,

Joseph T
