     Thanks! I'll make a script for starting Spoon on Linux and instruct
people to run that instead.

     Right; I apologize for not making it clear in the README, but this
is indeed as far as one can get with release 2a12. It's essentially a
"hello world" demo at the moment.

     That's a benign primitive failure. If there's no primitive support
for UUID byte generation (and there isn't yet), then some fallback
Smalltalk code runs instead. That code isn't as fast and implements a
lower-quality class of UUID than the primitive will enable (see the
Leach/Salz UUID RFC for more details).

     Don't worry, you won't hurt anything. :)

     I'll try to duplicate this.

     I'm sitting here at a table with Spoon set up on all three of the
current host platforms. I'll try to debug every bug people mention here.
I apologize that I haven't set up (access to) a proper bug-tracking
system yet.


     thanks!
