[Vm-dev] primitive external call

Hi,

could someone explain me primitive 117? I know the primitive is 
responsible for loading some kind of modules. But where do I find these 
modules.

For example "Integer>>#bitAnd:" contains "<primitive: 'primDigitBitAnd' 
module:'LargeIntegers'>", which will load the 'primDigitBitAnd' method 
of module 'LargeIntegers'. Are these modules some kind of plug-ins 
outside the squeak image? Can I access these modules and check their 
implementation?

best regards,
Helmut
