OSProcess provides access to the external operating system from
Squeak.  Plugins are provided for Unix, Linux, and Windows systems
(loaded separately from SqueakMap packages). OSProcess can be loaded
on other platforms as well, and placeholder classes are provided in
the OSProcess hierarchy for other operating systems (Mac, OS/2, RiscOS),
although support for these systems is not yet implemented.

OSProcess version 4.0:

- Added 64-bit support. With OSPP 4.0 or greater, runs on a 64 bit VM,
  image, and/or 64 bit hardware. Backward compatibility is maintained
  for 32 bit platforms and earler VMMaker distributions.
- Added AIO classes previously distributed as part of the AIO package.
- Updated #allTestResults to tolerate missing plugins, update test for
  session ID, and provide better console output and results file.
- Fixed bit rot in Win32 classes.
- Added support for OS threads and console in Win32.
- Added Windows process access methods for primitives in OSPP 4.0.

See also CommandShell version 3.0.2 for additional OSProcess functions.
