Good, thanks.   I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but
here is the site.  There is a download link toward the bottom...

I do know why I didn't think of this.  There are a couple of missing
things that Squeak needs but this shouldn't be a part of the SRP (State
Replication Protocol) framework.  One of these is #isMetaclass protocol
in ProtoObject and MetaClass.  The other is an ANSI DateAndTime class. 
Oh yes, and I need to implement the #directedMessageClass in the
SrpPortableBehaviorSqueak class.

Gemstone is considering putting this in their product, and the other
vendors were represented so they probably will too.

Cheers,
Robert
