Hi,
I'm trying to show my colleagues in an embedded-C shop what Squeak 
can do by creating a debug tool to monitor input from a serial port 
(Windows 2000, Squeak3.1Alpha4332) and split it onto several 
TranscriptStream windows for display depending upon embedded stream 
tokens. Being a relative Smalltalk newbie, I'm running into trouble 
and was wondering what the current status of support for serial input 
is with your 'Flow'. I'm unable to access your www site right now. I 
seem to remember a short time ago seeing on your site that serial 
support was yet to be released. Would it be worth my attempting to 
use it?  Does it require a special SerialPlugin?

So far I've got a process doing readString's on the port but output 
to several TranscriptStream windows gets confused. Today I'm looking 
at implementing a SharedQueue, perhaps also requiring WorldState 
addDeferredMessage as I saw on the list.

It looks like you've done a lot of great work on Flow. I'm very 
impressed with the Squeak community vision for the future and want to 
get up to speed so I am able to contribute too.
Any pointers, tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thx for any help.
Ken
