Great!

I'm currently working on learning how to compile Squeak on my computer.
I want OSProcess. I desperately want to be able to quit using Python for
some of the scripting I'm doing. But I got to be able to call
cdparanoia, lame, etc.

My problem so far has been learning how to compile 32bit Squeak on my
64bit Ubuntu.

I'll probably cheat on do a 32bit install on a machine for such times.

I'll definitely look into the AioPlugin and the AsyncFile.

Thanks for the info.
