Would it be possible to post this code?

What is the difference to just using a reference stream like the
following
example shows (method of a SUnit test case)


testReferenceStream

	| dict rr |
	dict _ Dictionary new.
	dict at: 'gruen' put: 'green'.
	dict at: 'rot' put: 'red'.
	dict at: 'blau' put: 'blue'.

	fname _ 'TestDict.obj'.

	rr _ ReferenceStream fileNamed: fname.
	rr nextPut: dict.
	rr close.

	dict _ nil.

	rr _ ReferenceStream fileNamed: fname.
	dict _ rr next.
	rr close.

	self assert: (dict at: 'gruen') = 'green'.
	FileDirectory default deleteFileNamed: fname.
