Quite often we come across a requirement where we may need to perform some sort of fuzzy string grouping or data correlation. For example, we may want to correlate the customer records of a database by identifying records that are similar but not necessarily exactly the same (due to spelling mistakes for example). Obviously a simple group by, will not successfully group such data. We will need to employ what is commonly referred to as a distance algorithm or a string metric in order to determine how close 2 string values are.

Etoys has become a great branch of Squeak (it branched from 3.8, but in the course of its development for OLPC, it has gained some nice fonts and a nice toolbar, among other things.) It behaves in a slightly more mainstream way, in that Etoys users no longer save the Etoys images, just save the project file (which is referred to in help as "Keep a current project"). The Squeak image itself restarts pristine and untouched each time it is restarted. \n\nSqueakers and developers who want to save their whole image (window positions, preferences, the lot, in classic Smalltalk style) will want the save command in the World menu. Bert Freudenberg explains where the World menu is hidden.
