Alan,
If you are going to be at Smalltalk Solutions this year perhaps we can talk about Smalltalk portability. My hope is that libraries such as Passport and Sport melt away as the ANSI standard moves to cover more areas so every year I lobby the Cincoms and GemStones of the world to re-engage in the ANSI process every year - but if we could harangue them together, that would be good :-)
All the best, Bruce
