conversion files and older projects

Hello Michael,

I don't know  if this question requires more time to answer or if you guys
are just busy or if the message was lost in the shuffle; while any and all
reasons are excusable, I am resending this message in the hope that it lands
nearer the top of the pile.

Best,

John

Hello Michael,

The easiest to find examples are those on Bob's Super Swiki (though most of
those were probably written in the Squeak.org version). I havn't really had
problems with Squeakland projects.

I use both, but I am more concerned with backward compatability in the
Squeakland version (that version is the one I use for professional
purposes). I understand the size-reducing, built-in limitations in the
Squeakland version, but, with a bit of debugging, I find that my problems
have been more due to obsolete or updated classes rather than missing
classes.

I see this as my shortcoming as a useer/programmer rather than a shortcoming
in Squeak; nonetheless, I would love some general pointers on how to update
projects or build backward compatabilty into the image...even if it leads to
some bloating.

Thanks,
John
