Re: Got Smalltalk code to publish, but how?

If you code is in a parcel or parcels, just use the Parcel Browser and sleect the parclel and pick either the "Save" or "File Out As" options. Both produce a text file of the Smalltalk code that can be easily imported into another Smalltalk image If you are not using Parcels, you can still use the "File Out As" option in the System Browser to export a Category, a Class, or even just a Method as text that can be published Jay O'Connor "Going places unmapped to do things unplanned to people unsuspecting"

Go to "Browse->Parcels" and on the parcel browser that opens, you just select "Parcel->New" in the menu bar or "New" in the popup menu on the parcel list on the left. Then find your classes and add then to the Parcel. Note: The Parcel browser and manipulating parcels and classes can be farily confusing I did File Out As, but for the life of mine I can't find how to file it back in. Open a File browser, select the file you want in the middle pane (should have a .st extension...) and right click and select "File In" Note: VisualWorks defaults to using XML for its import/export format. Using the "Settings" you can switch to the older style chunked Smalltalk code format which is actually quasi-executed on import. (The file contains Smalltalk code instructing the compiler how to build the classes and add the methods) Jay O'Connor "Going places unmapped to do things unplanned to people unsuspecting"

I haven't used STORE, but I believe it uses a database (like Oracle) for code repository. Jay O'Connor "Going places unmapped to do things unplanned to people unsuspecting"
