Yes, sorry. I wasn't initializing the pool dictionary early enough, so there 
were a number of constants that didn't work right. You might also do

	Smalltalk cleanOutUndeclared

and inspect Undeclared to make sure it's fixed.

Probably not.

I've made space (in Archive) for other kinds of archives. It'll take a bit of 
refactoring. My plan was to add Tar archives at some point. That should be 
easy. Unfortunately, support for .tar.gz  (compressed Tar) archives would 
require multiple passes through the decompression to be able to extract 
individual files -- one pass to get the members built, then for each member, 
a scan through all the compressed data to the member start. Compressed tar 
files are so ugly compared to zip files...

The problem with .gz files is that they're a degenerate form of archive: they 
can only hold one file! So the viewer would have to enquire of the archive 
whether adding was possible.
