Ned,

Have you seen how Craig did his flow SqueakMap entry?  He has a chunk of
Smalltalk code at the beginning of a zip archive.  This chunk of code makes
it possible to simply file-in flow  directly from the zip archive (it will
read itself and proceed to unzip the archive and file in the individual
change sets).  This is very clever.  I think it would be neat to have SAR
files use this technique...then someone wanting to load a SAR won't need an
installer at all.  We could just use the normal filein for SAR files and not
need any special code for filing in the SAR.
