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.
