Hi all,

I'm currently porting GLORP version 0.2.18 to Squeak.  When I did the 
0.2.14 port, I created the following method for the GLORP Dialect class:

basicIsSqueak
    Smalltalk
        at: #SqueakPage
        ifAbsent: [^ false].
    ^ true

This method must reliable return 'true' if and only if the code is 
called from within a Squeak image.  I couldn't think of any particular 
"reliable" test other than what I have shown above.

Does anybody have a different suggestion for a reliable #basicIsSqueak test?

Thanks,

Nevin
