Hi David,

    one thing you can do is make that large brace expression a set of
literal arrays.  e.g.

installSS := Installer ss.
installSqueak := Installer squeak.
"Use the following array of arrays to reduce total number of literals
is this script, allows log message for each package load."
{
{ installSS . 'Speech' . 'SharedPool-Speech' } .
{ installSqueak . 'FFI' . 'FFI-Pools' } .
{ installSS . 'Alien' . 'Alien' } .
{ installSqueak . 'VMMaker' . 'Balloon-Engine-Pools' } .
{ installSqueak . 'VMMaker' . vmmBranch } .
{ installSqueak . 'VMMaker' . 'Cog' } .
{ installSS . 'Alien' . 'Alien-VMMaker-Plugins' } .
{ installSS . 'OSProcessPlugin' . osppBranch } .
{ installSS . 'AioPlugin' . 'VMConstruction-Plugins-AioPlugin' } .
{ installSS . 'XDCP' . 'VMConstruction-Plugins-XDisplayControlPlugin' } .
{ installSS . 'Balloon3D' . 'Balloon3D-Constants' } .
{ installSS . 'Balloon3D' . 'Balloon3D-Plugins' } .
{ installSS . 'FreeTypePlus' . 'FreeType' } .
{ installSS . 'FreetypePlugin' . 'Freetype-Plugin' } .
{ installSS . 'dbus' . 'DBus-Plugin' } .
{ installSS . 'Rome' . 'Rome-Base' } .
{ installSS . 'Rome' . 'Rome-PluginCanvas' } .
{ installSS . 'Rome' . 'Rome-Plugin' }
} do: [ :package |
log value: 'install ', package third.
(package first project: package second) install: package third.
].

=>
"Use the following array of arrays to reduce total number of literals

However, I have an instruction set that lifts the 256 literal limit to
65535 ;)
