[SqNOS] Networking is comming to a theater close to you!

[Johnathon Meichtry]

Gera,

19 Loads fine and if I diff the file vs. 18 I see the External Class/Methods 
but if I check for changes between the two there are none which makes me 
think it has loaded properly.

So then I don't see ExternalAddress and ExternalStructure being added into 
FFIPlugin Class (I'm assuming you mean that Class when you say "FFI").

Maybe I am not loading them correctly, that seems the most likely cause as 
the diff shows them as External (Category "*Extensions" and Protocol 
"*SqueakNOS").  I have tried Loading with the file and with Monicello and 
get the same results.

Regards,

Johnathon
