I've just completed some additional parts of my implementation of all the
ANSI messages from the Fundamental Protocols through the Numeric Protocols
<number> protocol plus <ScaledDecimal>, and Date And Time Protocols.  I have
also finished SUnit unit tests for these. Both are tested For Squeak 2.7.

I am in the process of updating my web page and will post when they are
available.

The Numeric Protocols unit tests have a literal test for each global Float,
Integer, etc. to test that Squeak conforms.
