Hi Timothy.<div><br></div><div>OSProcess allows you to fork the running VM process with the image from within the image -- at least on Unix-based platforms. So you can easily run all tests "in background" with dedicated OS threads. The result can be communicated back to the "main" image via inter-process communication, which OSProcess also provides.</div><div><br></div><div>> <span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt">BTW, I hope someday I can run Squeak and have all the tools available as typical X windows apps.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt">There is already the HostWindowPlugin, which enables users to spawn new host windows -- but Morphic is not able to make good use of it at the moment. Its big central world is too monolithic at the moment. I have some ideas on how to split that up and -- for example -- assign morphs within a world to various host windows. Such morphs could the SystemWindows or just those window's contents. ... not breaking the powerful halo-inspection mechanics, of course. ;-)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt">Best,</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt">Marcel</span></div><div class="mb_sig"></div><blockquote class='history_container' type='cite' style='border-left-style:solid;border-width:1px; margin-top:20px; margin-left:0px;padding-left:10px;'>
