Actually, Elliot, did you want to keep it in the image? I was removing it pursuant to Bert's suggestion.
No, which is why I suggested putting it in some new package. It shouldn't get lost; someone may find it useful, and the Pharo folks are usually by the vm father nationality to support Athens.
After removing it myself, and then doing a Smalltalk garbageCollect, it is no longer anywhere in the image (or Undeclared, either). (Although BlockContext is, but that's another issue.)
I have added a new package for it if you want to keep it around. We went here because the ExternalForm was removed from FFI and put into EToys, and then Bert said it wasn't used in EToys (and it isn't).
Thanks
Now in package: http://source.squeak.org/inbox/GraphicsExternal-cbc.1.mcz
Great!
Eliot, you asked in the thread of today 16th October 'Where is ExternalForm? '
about this package.
To check which one is more recent.

Thanks, cbc

can we please do something like put it in a new package called
GraphicsExternal or FFI-External? Or put it in FFI-Examples? It's orphaned in my work image at the moment :-(.

there are now two options in the inbox. First move http://source.squeak.org/inbox/FFI-Tests-cbc.9.mcz to Trunk to get the test for ExternalForm out of FFI (since ExternalForm is no longer in FFI). Then, either: 1> move http://source.squeak.org/inbox/EToys-cbc.293.mcz to trunk (to keep ExternalForm in the image, if desired, but add the test to EToys), or 2> move http://source.squeak.org/inbox/EToys-cbc.294.mcz to trunk, to competely remove ExternalForm and ExternalScreen from Squeak, since they are no longer used (also doesn't has the test removed).
Thanks, cbc

thanks for looking into this! ExternalForm is not used by Etoys, so it should just be removed along with the test. I guess it's a leftover from Balloon3D.
For the FFI package, you could submit a fixed version to the Inbox and any core developer can move it to the FFI repo.
