I am currently porting some Squeak code from Squeak 3.6 to Squeak 3.8 <br>(on a linux system). I have the following problem:<br><br> When I load a .st file all the "_" characters (displayed as "<-") are
<br> converted to the string ":=". <br> HOW DO I TURN THIS "FEATURE" OFF!!!<br> Is the "_" character for assigment being deprecated?<br> Am I expected to use ":=" for assignment form now on?
<br><br>Some additional grumplings:<br><br> 2) Since I am running linux I must go to the FileStream class<br> and modify method "concreteStream" to return: "CrLfFileStream"<br> so that my code has the proper carriage returns in them when
<br> I file them in. <br> It seems to me that I shouldn't have to do this<br> and that Squeak should handle this situation automatically, <br> possibly by storing a special flag in each .st file <br> indicating the rule applied, regarding carriage returns,
<br> when the file was generated.<br> If the flag is missing Squeak behavior would revert back <br> to the current situation.<br><br> 3) There is no inisqueak command <br> even though the documentation (man squeak) says there is.
<br> This is confusing. <br> This was the situation with Squeak 3.6 as well.<br><br> 4) Even though I have installed Squeak 3.8, <br> the command squeak -version returns Squeak 3.7.7.<br> I assume this is because the virtual machine is
3.7.7<br> or something like that.<br> Inside Squeak help- "about this system" returns Squeak 3.8 though.<br> <br> 4) I do find the installation process confusing in general.<br> A ReadMe file to be read from a linux shell would be helpful.
<br><br> 5) Squeak 3.6 had a "usefull commands" window which I found<br> quite useful as a Squeak beginner. There doesn't seem to<br> be such a window in 3.8.<br><br>Hopefully someone will post a solution to my problem.
<br>Comments on my grumplings most welcome.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Ralph Boland<br><br>
