With the help of David Pennell, I was able to test the OSProcess package 
for Squeak on Solaris 7.  It's working fine, however, I can call an 
external program only for about 10 times.  Thereafter, I get strange errors.

I'd guess the system runs out of some resources, file handles or so.  This 
is very bad as I need to call it much more often.   I'd like to free the 
resources but I didn't find a method to clean up (or close) a 
ConnectedProcess (this is what I use right now).  Does anybody notice this 
and/or has a workaround?

Then I noticed that stdOut atEnd doesn't work.  I never returns true, even 
if stdOut next (correctly) answers nil.   This is bad as a couple of stream 
methods don'T work, for example #upToEnd.  I wrote a workaround by 
implementing that method in terms of next not using atEnd but still, that's 
probably a bug that must be fixed elsewhere.

It's also annoying that there's no automatic cr/lf conversion:  I simply 
implemented

next
   | n |
   ^(n _ super next) == Character lf
      ifTrue: [Character cr]
      ifFalse: [n]

but I think, this still a general smalltalk problem.  I also changed

cr
   self nextPut: Character lf

so that I can use the normal Smalltalk style of dealing with 
streams.  However, I know this is only a hardcoded solution for Unix.  When 
somebody implements the OSProcess system for other platforms, we need a 
more clever solution here.

But: Thank you for providing the code.  It's nevertheless very useful.
