I don't know. However I made the same experience - when I tried to rebuild an
image loading packages into a base image it didn't work the second time.

We will have to find out .....

In the 3.8gamma image where I have SRE working,

I write for example the follwoing method:


  showTab: anInteger
	self removeMorph: currentTab.
	currentTab := panes at: anInteger.
	self
		addMorph: currentTab
		frame: (0 @ 0.1 corner: 1.0 @ 1.1)


After I have choosen 'Accept' the method is displayed as

showTab: t1 
	self removeMorph: currentTab.
	currentTab := panes at: t1.
	self
		addMorph: currentTab
		frame: (0 @ 0.1 corner: 1.0 @ 1.1)

So parameters and local variables are replaced by other names (t1,t2,t3.....)

I have checked that the sources and changes files are there.

This has not necessarily something to do with SRE, it just means, that I cannot
fully use that image and as redoing an 3.8gamma image with SRE seems to be
difficult I am somewhat limited.
I would like to use SRE in my current working environment. Currently I use is a
as a tool to analyse code I have written elsewhere. I load it with Monticello
then. And for the time beeing this is fine.

On this list John Pierce did a loader script for 3.8 which he put at
http://www.saltypickle.com/Home/10

I will try to use that next week.


Kind regards
Hannes
