However, what I need to do is very simple. I have already add log to SqueakDBX. Till now, the log just print in Transcript.

<br>If I think I could give some useful feedback be sure I will let you know.<br><br>cheers,<br><br>Mariano<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 4:53 PM, Keith Hodges <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:keith_hodges@yahoo.co.uk">keith_hodges@yahoo.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div></div>The built in File handling is not very elegent, enter, "Rio" File/Drectory<br>

Installer squeaksource project: 'Rio'; install: 'File-Kernel'; install:<br>
'File-Base'.<br>

(and File-Tests for examples)<br>

if you like it, then perhaps you would be kind enough to offer some feedback<br>

Features of File/Directory (née Rio)<br>
<br>
File/Directory was inspired by ruby's rio which enables local and remote<br>
files to be used transparently. To achieve this a generic stream copy<br>
function has been developed (aStream copyTo: bStream) and we are able to<br>
expose the working stream of FtpClient so you can stream directly to a<br>
remote file. We also support file archives (zip) as if they were a<br>
filesystem, and transparent streaming to compressed files (gzip).<br>
[transparent streaming to a remote compressed file is still available as<br>
a exercise for the reader to implement ;) ]<br>
<br>
File/Directory is a standalone package, it does not use any of the<br>
existing FileDirectory classes. It is separated into File-Kernel and<br>
File-Base, where the former provides a minimal working subset for<br>
KernelImages to access local filesystems.<br>
<br>
Local file copying is handled by the fileCopyPlugin if it is present, if<br>
not OSProcess 'cp' is used, and as a last resort a full stream to stream<br>
copyTo: is performed (but this does update modification time).<br>
<br>
Remote file upload or download is handled by OSProcess 'ftp' if it is<br>
present. Multiple file transfers are invoked N at a time (where N is<br>
initially 5). Copying from a remote file to another remote file is<br>
handled by the internal stream copy function.<br>
