</span>Look no further than the "head" version of "FFI" on SqueakMap. You<br>
can install it straight from the menu or select "Edit Release" to see<br>
the script it uses to load it.<br>

We've been so lulled into things being undocumented that, even when<br>
they are, people don't find it because they don't think to look.<br></blockquote></div></div><div><div><div class="h5"><br>"people don't find it because they don't think to look."<br></div></div>?<br><br>This:<span class=""><br>"<span>I can not even find up to date information on how to *install* current working FFI.</span>"</span></div></div>was about a working version on linux.
