Ok, ok... ;)

http://squeaksource.com/OmniBase/ has a .mcz of the latest trial
version of OmniBase for Squeak.  It also includes the version of
OSProcess that we use to provide file locking - I believe the version
on SM doesn't provide the right support yet, though I think David is
very close to releasing one that will.

Note however that as I mentioned on squeak-dev recently, the stock
unix VMs I've tested on OS X seem to have a broken #truncate:
primitive, which makes OmniBase pretty much unusable.  This may not be
an issue on other unix platforms, though.
