What about instances? From what you said, I'm guessing that they are stored in the image file.
That's right. If you're just getting reacquainted with Squeak, you may find it valuable to skim the excellent (and free) Squeak By Example, which says:
- The current system image is a snapshot of a running Squeak system,
frozen in time. It consists of two files: an .image file, which contains the state of all of the objects in the system (including classes and methods, since they are objects too), and a .changes file, which contains a log of all of the changes to the source code of the system.
I, actually, have read Squeak By Example. I must have forgotten this bit on the image and changes files.
Thanks for refreshing my memory, Aidan
