Hi
First, sorry for the previous message. Something went wrong there. Second, this post is about Hyper and not about Swazoo. Sorry for posting to this list but I know Bruce reads it and I think it's of general interest for people writing portable code. HyUrl sends #isAlphabetic to characters and includes its own class extension for this method. However vb-regex does the same and uses a different definition. May I suggest to use #hyperIsAlphabetic instead?

And probably even #hyperIsASCIIAphabetic to avoid clashes. But since it has only one sender it might be less trouble to simply inline it.

There are some more issues I came across, in Squeak the following methods are not implemented: - #entityOctetsUpToEnd - #initialContext - #on:new: Additionally you shouldn't use #match: and 16r7f doesn't work as a literal in Squeak.

On the first point, isAlphabetic is implemented on Character in a base VisualWorks image and used that in a recent change to Hyper. I've not checked this version of Hyper out in GemStone yet ... and there I see that there is *no* implementation of isAlphabetic on Character. So, yes I need to do something about this ... but (;-)) I deny having created a Hyper specific extension to the Character class. I'm behind on a number of things Philippe (Life. Don't talk to me about life) but getting the latest version of Hyper running in GemStone is important for OpenSkills and I've promised this for Dale from GemStone, and now you need things addressing too. So I'll look at this very soon.

Philippe & Co.,
To address the >>isAlphabetic issue I have added a new class to Hyper which is responsible for knowing the constants defined in RFC 2616 (e.g. ALPHA (c.f. RFC 2616 pp 2.2)). This means that in the latest version of Hyper, to be released as soon as I have run through all the tests and become happy that all is well with my code, will no longer use >>isAlphabetic at all.

There is a second problem with Hyper, it sends #readIntegerFrom:radix: to Number with is not present in Squeak.

The latest version uses: SpEnvironment readIntegerFrom: hexDigitsReadStream radix: 16. So Sport should absorb that difference for Hyper in this case - at least in the version just published to the public Store.

Is there any mechanism in place for getting this to all the other supported dialects and for finding out which dialect supports which version of SPort? Also are there any tests for SPort?

The information about dialects and who does what is here: http://wiki.openskills.org/OpenSkills/Sport There are indeed Sport SUnit tests. Leandro Caniglia did the work to get these set up, and you can see them in the VW implimentation. As Sport is cross dialect, the preferred discussion forum for Sport issues is cls.

Each implementation of Sport is distinct and the listed individual drives it. The tests set up by Leandro were done in Visual Smalltalk. I implemented them in Visual Works. The named individual would do it for each platform. Sport is not a 'supported product'. It's a project which has been of value to many, and I hope it will be for you too. I'm sorry to hear you are having problems on Squeak. Perhaps we should wait to hear what Janko has to say about the current status of the Squeak implementation.

I'm not aware of any Sport changes on VW in that time. Also, because Sport is now ported to almost all Smalltalks, any change must be much more carefully planned and announced. Only that way it has a chance to be successfully propagated around all ports. And if I understand correctly, in current case there is only one method in question? If so, this is surely not a reason big enough to start such upgrade. It is better just to extend this method in your package.

One thing I would like to add to Sport is UDP socket facilities, specifically for Syslog. But that's another story and something I'll discuss on cls when I have my act together.

No, there are five methods missing that I know of not counting the methods that are there but not implemented which are about six additional methods. The fact that even you are unaware of this highlights the seriousness of the problem. Without a specification and tests nobody can be sure what should be implemented, what is there, what is missing, what works and doesn't. If you have to look at the SPort of each platform to find out what is supported and what isn't you can as well just ignore SPort and use the native classes, it's the same effort. > If so, this is surely not a > reason big enough to start such upgrade. It is better just to extend > this method in your package. I hope you don't suggest I should fix SPort.
