<div><font face="Arial" size="-1">Somewhere along the line, Squeak
seems to have lost the ability to read fileOuts where one methodsFor

<div><font face="Arial" size="-1">Since Squeak dropped this format (in
favor of per-method headers which carry time and author stamps), it's
not really a problem for US. However VisualWorks, among others,
still produces this format, and it seems a shame not to support it.
A prededent for such compatibility exists in the method
ClassDescription>>methods whose sole purpose is to read
Smalltalk/V fileOuts.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="-1">I am willing to fix this, but I'm
writing in hopes that someone else here has had to deal with this and
has already got a fix (which I would then propose be included in the
release).</font></div>
