[BUG] TextFontReference = method typo
by Mark A. Schwenk 07 May '99

07 May '99

I believe there is a typo in the following method: 'From Squeak 2.4b of April 23, 1999 on 7 May 1999 at 6:43:36 am'! !TextFontReference methodsFor: 'comparing' stamp: 'di 10/31/97 11:15'! = other ^ (other class == self class) and: [font == font]! ! and that the corrected method should look like this: 'From Squeak 2.4b of April 23, 1999 on 7 May 1999 at 6:20:48 am'! !TextFontReference methodsFor: 'comparing' stamp: 'mas 5/7/1999 06:20'! = other ^ (other class == self class) and: [other font == font]! ! -Mark Schwenk WellThot Inc.

Squeak announce and Georgs eminent mailarchive!
by "Gran" Hultgren 07 May '99

07 May '99

Hi all! Two small things. The announce mailing list seems to be pretty unattended, at least if you look at the archive at: http://squeak.cs.uiuc.edu/mail/squeak-annc/ If people follow only that list it would seem that almost nothing happens! and... After finding this: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak.592 I located this supernice service available from Georg Gollman: http://macos.tuwien.ac.at:9009/Server.home Perhaps it should be linked from squeak.cs.uiuc.edu? regards, Gran === Gran Hultgren, gohu(a)rocketmail.com, icq#:6136722 GSM: +46 709 472152, http://195.22.65.4 "First they ignore you.

[BUG] change browser 'select methods for this class' broken
by Tim Rowledge 07 May '99

07 May '99

Whilst trying to advise Ian on his filein problem, I was about to recommend using this to select all the methods relating to the 'dodgy' class - but it's broken! In 2.3 and 2.4 the result is the same. a)ChangeList does not implement #currentChange b) nor does it implement #selectSuchThat: which make me think it's more than just a small fix that is needed. What is the changes browser supposed to be doing these days? Multiple selecting is also still broken, which makes a lot of other menu options almost meaningless for now. tim -- Useful random insult:- Kept an open mind -- and his brains fell out.

No more optimizeMorphicScrollbars?
by Carl Gundel 07 May '99

07 May '99

I see that the optimize morphic scrollbars preference is no longer supported in Squeak. :-( I miss it. I developed that enhancement (I know that Doug Way also built on top of it) because the scrollbars were really choppy on my machines (a 100MHz 486 and a 133MHz 486). I would imagine a lot of 68K Mac users and WinCE users are seeing similar choppiness. Was the feature causing some trouble? I'd be glad to put some energy into fixing any bug it was causing. :-) -Carl The original enhancement (which still seems to work when filed into Squeak 2.4) is located at: http://world.std.com/~carlg/scrloptimiz.18Feb1054pm.cs _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Well, I suppose one could point out that you shouldn't be looking at the code in a C environment since it is all neatly there in the image, and the inlining will make quite a mess of readability. However... > Is there > any thought being given to "modularizing" interp.c? I did do some modularizing a few weeks ago in order to make plugins of all the serial/midi/socket/sound/etc subsystems. That certainly cuts quite a bit out. See http://sumeru.stanford.EDU/tim/pooters/SqFiles/deltas/pluginise.zip for details. It's 2.3 for now, I'll probably get to 2.4 someday soon. It reduces the VM size quite noticably as well. tim -- Useful random insult:- Sharp, like stone in river. Swift, like tree through forest.

Re: ODBC interface

Has anyone written or is working on >an ODBC interface for Squeak? Or are there better alternatives? The Jasmine C-API is a lot simpler and better than ODBC. This is a DLL interface. The problem then becomes how to get from Squeak to C methods in a DLL.. One idea, which may be sensible depending upon your application, is to write a separate Windows executable that makes all the Jasmine calls, and talks TCP/IP to Squeak. Regards, Eric Ulevik

[PWS] Is/was there a CodeServer which supported updating of code?
by Reinier van Loon 07 May '99

As far as I can tell from PWS the CodeServer does not support updating the image. I thought we had something like that (or at least discussions about it). Anyone know more? Reinier.

RFI: ODBC interface
by Roxie Rochat 07 May '99

07 May '99

I need to connect to a Jasmine database from Squeak. Jasmine doesn't have a Smalltalk API yet, but I have located an ODBC wrapper. Has anyone written or is working on an ODBC interface for Squeak? Or are there better alternatives?

delete directory
by Luciano Notarfrancesco 07 May '99

07 May '99

A friend of mine is trying to use MinneStore in Windows, and he told me that the windows 2.4 VM does not include the delete directory primitive, so MinneStore does not work correctly. Is this so? What can I do in order to make MinneStore work? Thanks, Luciano.-
