Hi Edgar,

I just added you to the repo.

Start with a fully updated trunk image (including the ToolBuilder changes
that I added yesterday). Then load the latest versions of packages
SimpleMorphic and SMx from the SimpleMorphicSqueak project on SqueakSource.

Then from the toolbar, Projects -> New Project -> new SMxMorphicProject

Notes:

Do not save your image while running SimpleMorphic, because restarting
a SMxMorphicProject does not work yet (so just return to previous
project before saving).

You may also need to load a couple of methods from a package in the
inbox, Morphic-dtl.523. Otherwise you may need to manually re-initialize
classes Editor and TextEditor after re-entering a normal Morphic
project.

The main things I have been working on are:

- SMxMorphicProject for hosting the SimpleMorphic environment. This is
currently a modified copy of MorphicProject. Of course, the original
Morphic likes to think that it is the "only" Morphic world, so getting
the two to work together was a bit tricky.

- Toolbuilder support for SimpleMorphic. This is not complete, but the
changes are all in the SMx package and there is enough to make many
of the tools work (but not yet the debugger!!!).

- The Editor hierarchy in Cuis has been updated in a very nice way
(event dispatch) but there are lots of changes compared with Squeak.
Menus are different also. Making SimpleMorphic loadable as a project
type makes it easy to compare the two. I renamed some of the event
handling methods (e.g. Editor>>backspace: becomes Editor>>backspaceEvent:
so the original Editor>>backspace: method remains in place for use
by Morphic and MVC).

Great! Thank you.

Happy Carnaval,
