SIXX troubles and advanced use

Hi,

I'm now upgrading SIXX. The new version has new hooks for customizing
serialization more easily. So I recommend using the latest version
here:
http://squeaksource.blueplane.jp/SIXX/

Basically, SIXX writes the whole object structures in one file. It is
simple, but causes a performance problem if the data becomes
relatively big.

To avoid it, you would need to split the structures in small files. I
recently developed FileMan library, which enables you to manage
multiple files easily.

FileMan:
http://map1.squeakfoundation.org/package/f9917683-25da-4a6c-a013-b36527a100c1

Actually. I'm developing a Wiki that stores pages in SIXX with
FileMan. If it is released, it would be a good example of using SIXX
in application.

Cheers,
