There is a problem with loading FFI api methods via Monticello, you  
must ensure you've also loaded this version before you load any code  
that creates FFI structured classes.

"Name: Monticello-bf.273
Author: bf
Time: 5 January 2006, 4:33:19 pm
UUID: 2edc365b-9da0-4978-9b14-b53305b4914a
Ancestors: Monticello-bf.272

Fix loading of ExternalStructures. The normal file-out code inserts a  
#compileFields send. So we now send #compileFields when #fields was  
changed, similar to the #initialize call."


If you've already loaded stuff then you must do a "ExternalStructure  
compileAllFields" to fix things.


I'll note this quicktime stuff is a moving target, I did a bit of  
work today to provide a plugin that creates a squeak surface object  
so that we can copy the form from the surface
into the tweak morphic, and to signal a semaphore when quicktime  
signals a frame is completed so we know when to grab the frame for  
display.

  I haven't published the plugin yet, and tomorrow I need to spend  
some time with Steven in cleaning a few things up.
