Abstract	Several years ago we began development of an object-based programming language and environment which we call X2. We implemented X2 using a virtual machine similar to Smalltalk-80 implementations, but X2 does no message look-up. The implementation differs from most Smalltalk-80 systems in that objects are paged and in the ability to save changes to an image instead of the whole image. We present how we implemented the X2 virtual machine, some measurements of its performance, and our experience in transporting it. Keywords: Interpreters, object-oriented, virtual machines, implementation
