SRE (Squeak Reverse Engineering) is set of three tools making Squeak 
objects visible and tangible:

1) *SRE collaboration* for building a diagram a system of objects with the 
links between them.
2) *SRE Object Browser* to get a full description of a single object with 
its identity, state, and behavior. The class hierarchy is flattened so that 
you see the object as a whole.
3) *Object>>traceRM:* a method that dumps the stack in the Transcript.

Taken together, these three tools are meant to get their user in closer 
contact with the real objects. The tools shall give better understanding of 
existing systems and better contol over new ones.

There is also a new version of the technical note that uses these tools to 
answer the question "What is a Morph?". It is posted at
     http://heim.ifi.uio.no/~trygver/2004/babysre/BabySRE.pdf

The new release is gratefully based on suggestions from Milan Zimmermann 
and Chris Muller.

Enjoy
