I'm no endianness expert either. My understanding is its two different ways to
store an Integer, so a heterogeneous environment would be problematic. I
noticed that, when I set my appearance.. | display depth.. it provides both big
and little endian. I wonder whether endianness can be specified when putting
numbers into a ByteArray..?
Until multi-platform issues get worked out, I have downgraded the "stability"
on SqueakMap to "Beta".
Say, if you get time, would you mind running clientTest.ws and serverTest.ws on
Linux? Two images, server first, bam, bam, Transcript wizzes 1 to 50, done.
Well, hopefully anyway..
Regards,
Chris
