Category Browser

lesbros
Hi,
In the help, VisualWorks Tools System Browser

I can read :

To display categories, parcels, or packages in the upper-left view of the navigator, choose the corresponding item from the Browser menu.

But my Browser menu dispalys only :
Open new Browser
Undo
Redo
Refresh

I can only chose between Package/Class/Namespace
How can I browse categories ?


Thanks for help.

The help is out of date on this, and quite a lot else.
There may still be an old browser that you can load, but class categories are functionally gone, replaced by packages.

You can't. The documentation is out of date there. Neither parcel nor category mode exist anymore. It's always packages.

yes, in reference to an ongoing discussion in on "Has Objects failed us.." or similar, I mentioned some   barriers to entry  This is a typical example of some problems that I had to endure: Lots and lots of documentation exist, both on and off-line, but you never know how update they are or sure that they can be applied off the shelf. You can use the documentation to know that certain features exist, understand the concepts , its usage and its techniques... but in no way,  did I find a definitive or authoritative reference manual. There is an uncanny feeling that you never really know the boundary between vendor responsibilities and yours.

In the end you only trust   what you 'see': i.e the code  or what you 'hear' from googling around or asking groups like this.  . But to be fair, some frustrations apart, with so much of human capital around,  one can survive pretty well.
