Hi Klaus,
Thank you for removing a limitation from squeak.
I haven't had time to try your patches yet or even
look at them.
What I wanted to ask was would it be possible to
extend the number of Source files the system could
handle.
Two is a stupid limitation.
The story I want is as follows
for each branch of versioning we would have another
level of source/changes
in other words source for 3.0
changes for 3.n
newchanges for 3.n.m
etc down to several levels.
That would be a big win.
The only file you would have to ship would be the
change file that matched the current level of image.
The high level changes would act as source.
We get recursive fractal behaviour and an easy way of
developing source and distributing changes. Much more
organic that the current way.

So questions.
Is it possible?
How many bits do we need to trade off from the other
address space?
How much work might it be to do?
Are there resources to do it?

Yours in service, --Jerome Peace
