I wrote IOHandle (http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/996) some time
ago as a way to separate the representation of external IO channels
from things like FileStreams and Sockets. I have not touched this code
in more than a year, so I am sure that it has gone out of date by now.
My changes were made to the base Squeak image, not to Flow, so I don't
know if this is useful. I would be happy to update it if either of you
thinks it would help.
