"Create your object(s)"
myObject _ {'abc' . 3 . $g}.

"Open a ReadWriteStream (not a simple WriteStream, because of a bug?)"
fileStream _ FileStream forceNewFileNamed: 'myObject.obj'.

"Open a ReferenceStream on your ReadWriteStream"
serializeStream _ ReferenceStream on: fileStream.

"Use #nextPut: and #nextPutAll: to put all your objects into the "
"reference stream."
serializeStream nextPut: myObject.

"Close the streams"
serializeStream close.
fileStream close.


"Here are the steps to get your objects back"
fileStream _ FileStream fileNamed: 'myObject.obj'.
serializeStream _ ReferenceStream on: fileStream.
myObject2 _ serializeStream next. "Use #next to get your objects back."
serializeStream close.
fileStream close.

Bye
