The early releases of the Native PostgreSQL driver were made to work in
VisualAge and VisualWorks, but I never got around to GemStone. I even
tried to stick to ANSI Smalltalk, for what that was worth.

The hard part of the port was finding a way to get the code to load,
because VA used Envy and VW use Store/Parcels. I think I used Rosetta to
get it into VA, and VW's Squeak fileIn compatibility code.

The next hurdle was connecting to the native socket layer. The driver
just needs to read/write a buffer over a socket. I would not expect
GemStone sockets to be a problem.

Jade [1] can take code in a VW fileout format and load it into GemStone/S.

The code loading problem was ancient history from 1999. It was awful
that it used to be so hard to move code between Smalltalk dialects. The
code is in Monticello package format now, which GemStone can load.
