I don't think Classboxes is maintained.  For experimentation, you
should dig up the correct older version of Squeak for it -- does
anyone know what that would be?  If you want to continue using them
beyond experimentation, then either you need to use it with the old
version of Squeak, or you need to update it personally.


By the way, there are some other module-related tools that are
actively maintained.  Monticello is a great for managing code given
the current Squeak design; it won't prevent clashes between packages,
but at least it will tell you when they happen.  Package universes is
my toolkit for helping people manage sets of mutually compatible
packages; given such a toolkit, the need for a good module system is
lessened.
