sending text messages in and out of squeak from another application

SqueakSource has newer versions.  For example: http:// 
www.squeaksource.com/OSProcess/OSProcess-dtl.36.mcz

How do you intend to use OSProcess?  Unix sockets or pipes would be  
more efficient than a TCP socket (although it hardly matters for text  
chat messages).  But then you have to have a different solution for  
Windows.  It seems like more trouble than necessary.
