    I am a bit confused. What do you mean by 'again' ?

    A headless Squeak process should not have any
    gui related thing in it, or, well, just a tiny little bit
    (like in SqueakScript pre-alpha release :-).

    To put a 'face' on a headless Squeak, 
    just load that  'face' (a browser, maybe), 
    MobVM will bring in all the plugins needed
    (typically WindowPlugin, BitBltPlugin, B2DPlugin, 
     DropPlugin) to support that gui module .

    In short, just use SqueakScript for headless
    jobs. Add gui when needed.

    Cheers,

    PhiHo.

    P.S: Please consider this email posted
    Dec. 2003. I don't know how to change
    the system clock ;-)
