I always had the impression that plugin was Mac only and not essential even then?

If only people came with pull-down menus and online help.

Tim,

That is very likely true. After all, the class comment (authored by someone with initials 'tpr') says:

This is nice to know that the work of igor is quite good and I'm happy that we payed him for that.

Good news.

I think you guys are going to like this CMake stuff (not my work, per se, but the general concept).

For example, instead of hunting down a string to put in a configuration script in svn, you go looking for the class that controls your platform/vm and modify that.

Then you let it, generate your cmake configuration.

So, if you need a FoodleDoodlePlugin on the VAX you find the VAX config and either modify it directly or subclass it and add your FoodleDoodle.

I have an SVN server set up with the mcz's and a copy of the Cog source tree on my local machine. When I get all the pharo configs ported to Squeak, I will

send a link.

Cheers,

tty

Tim,
