Hi Andreas--

	Sure; I put the results of (Smalltalk printSpaceAnalysis) at
http://netjam.org/squat/space.txt

	Yeah, I still have my proxy system running, so I can send messages to
objects in the small system from another system, over a network.

	Yeah, that sounds like a good approach. I think it'd be a
straightforward extension to the network protocol I wrote for
message-passing (and I already support a very crude form of instance
transport).

	Mostly I wanted to make sure there I was reinventing the right wheel.
;)


	thanks,
