I am a bit confused. What do you mean by 'again' ?
A headless Squeak process should not have any
gui related thing in it, or, well, just a tiny little bit
(like in SqueakScript pre-alpha release :-).
To put a 'face' on a headless Squeak,
just load that 'face' (a browser, maybe),
MobVM will bring in all the plugins needed
(typically WindowPlugin, BitBltPlugin, B2DPlugin,
DropPlugin) to support that gui module .
In short, just use SqueakScript for headless
jobs. Add gui when needed.
Cheers,
PhiHo.
P.S: Please consider this email posted
Dec. 2003. I don't know how to change
the system clock ;-)
