Hi everyone,
This is my first post to this list, I apologize if my question is too basic for this list.
I've been working on a remote-filesystem to display the sourcecode/object hierarchy of the squeak smalltalk image in a "normal" unix filesystem. (Using FUSE)
I initially followed this resource http://www.mucow.com/squeak-qref.html , under Symbols, but ended up having to add more checking to my regexps. (It states that if it's a special characters, it is either 1 or 2 of them, however, in Integer, there is a method called '\'
What is valid for protocols/categories?
Doing some testing on the FS, we also encountered method sourcecode with strange encodings (ie, WideStrings used to store the sourcecode (JapaneseEnvironment / flapTabTextFor:in: for example), and also some method names that has special characters, ie, in the squeak-web image, there is a method called "göran" (Installer-Core/Installer/instanciation-abbreviated/göran )
Anyone know of any resource that outlines what encoding is used and what characters are allowed for Symbols? (I guess that's what it really boils down to?)
Thanks in advance -Johan

That's very interesting. What do you use in the fuse adaptor? Do you read the source and changes file or are you interacting with an image? I'm _very_ interested in the latter one :)

We are interacting wit the image using TCP sockets. This is actually done as a project in the course Dynamic Programming at the Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden). I believe this is Michael Haupt's idea initially, he's been providing us with a "specification".
We're planning on releasing a package in a day or two, just want to iron out a few more issues and add support to display Traits correctly.

Ok. My hope was that you did that using the callback stuff from Andreas to call in the image directly.

Great!
