The following script now loads FileTree nicely into Squeak 4.4-12324

Thank you!

--Hannes



    Installer ss3
        project: 'FileTree';
        install: 'MonticelloFileTree-Core.squeak43'.

    Installer ss3
        project: 'FileTree';
        install:  'MonticelloFileTree-FileDirectory-Utilities.squeak43'.
