[Cryptography Team] [Vm-dev] Smalltalk code calling SHA2Plugin

[Robert]

Hi Chris,

You should only need to run #3, which will load Registers. Hasher was from before we integrated the code into ProCrypto-1-1-1.

Installer as project: ‘Cryptography’; install: ‘ProCrypto-1-1-1’.

Then to load tests run:

Installer as project: ‘Cryptography’; install: ‘ProCryptoTests-1-1-1’.

Let us know if any tests fail and we can look into it.

Kindly,
Robert
