Squat progress 12 July 2003

[Luciano Notarfrancesco]

Wow! This is ultra cool!

Is this implemented in the image or in the vm? Don't you run into 
problems like accidentally swapping out methods that are needed for 
swapping methods back in? I got this kind of problems when I tryed to do 
something similar.

When will this be available for everyone to play with?

Thanks,
Luciano.-
