Hi Philippe,
Yes, those are classes I left out (but they don't have the WA prefix).
I also prefer that there is a shared common package for both platforms but there are more differences spread over several methods.
Off the top of my head, most differences are located in the MOFile class. Also, the 'startup' methods that are used to trigger a locale refresh when starting the Pharo image are not applicable in Gemstone.
I'm willing to work towards a common package + platform-specific packages. Probably, we have to hear what the Pharo people (and specifically Hilaire Fernandes) think about it.
cheers
Johan
