Hello Fabio

Two questions:

1.

Do I understand correctly that if I follow the Squeak installation
instructions for Metacello [1]
I actually have FileTree included. So I do not need an additional installation.

2. From what I understand is that the trunk update by Patrick Rein [2]
last week Thu, 27 Apr 2017, makes Squeak6.0a backward compatible
again. I.e. installation of Metacello should be smooth. To be tested.
