Hey Keith,

Thanks for the response.  Re: LPF and MC1.5, never found any motivation 
to use either so maybe now's the time?  I installed LPF and MC "48" in 
my image and I get the same walkback.  I don't believe that Installer 
handles MCM files correctly at all, even under LPF, even with newer 
versions of MonticelloConfigurations.  I've attached the walkback.  The 
stack should make the problem clear (a MCConfiguration instance is 
ending up in the installer's "versions" list and it doesn't respond to 
the same protocol as a "version").  My previous e-mail had a patch to 
Installer.  I'm using it in my build script now.  Maybe it should be 
considered for inclusion although I think that it is sloppy.  I'd prefer 
"works" over "elegant" so I'm not ashamed :-)

I peek at Sake now again and, while I'm a long-standing make and ant 
user, I don't yet see the need for it in my Smalltalk systems.  Maybe 
that day will come.  For now I get all the flexibility I need by 
building little "script building" classes that create my deployment 
image builder.  I'm cautious that the abstractions provided by the 
declarative approach would make this simple process more complicated 
(again, in my rather trivial package loading image builder).

Thanks for the tips...

David
