at length about truncation and roundoff libraries and
that squeak's is incomplete compared with others.

I'd like to add that this incompleteness is part of a
problem morphic has in displaying graphics. See:

Summary		0002453: 
[Bugs] What is the extent of a truncated rectangle?

The basic problem was that truncation and rounding did
not mix well with rectangles. Particularly when
rectangels were mixing with rendering Transformation
morphs.

Part of the solution would be to have more choices
particular ceiling and floor options for rectangles
(an by extention Points.) I was headed in that
direction as  I attempted fixes to the errors. If a
set of vocabularies exist that would also make squeak
more compatable with other smalltalks and we have all
the necessary permissions to include them. Then I say
squeak could use them. The sooner the better.
