Hi Nicolas,

You have been working quite quickly, great!

I tried to follow your different releases in Pharo 1.1.1, right now I have 433 tests, 3 failures (#testReadWriteLargeAmount), 11 errors (#..base64 and #..multipleBufferSize). If will send you the report.

I have been trying some of the examples from the doc pages (google code project), this simple one still fails:

((1 to: 10) reading collecting: [:x | x * x]) rest

The readline example is using the non-existing #slicer: method, this simpler version seems to work:

|text|
text := 'line1\line2\line3\line4' withCRs reading.
text := text ender: [ :char | char = Character cr ].
text collect: [ :line | line rest ].

That is a documentation bug though.

Sven
