Andreas,

Thanks for the quick response. I tried it with Squeak 3.9 gamma and
it works fine. I'm having a few problems with 3.8 - is it supposed to
work there? (Things seem to hang when loading it, and I don't
understand why - will keep investigating.)

I'm currently trying to work out the best way to upgrade all my stuff
from 3.8 to 3.9, but I guess those would be questions for the
beginners list.

cheers,
Simon

Normally you should be able to fileout your class categories (if you
did not extend the system)
or if you have been rigourous you can save your changeset (open...
dual change sorter).
But I suggest you to take the time to packaged your code in
Monticello since this is quite good to manage code
and the migration will be easier (I hope).

Sorry but it won't work in 3.8 - there have been significant
restructurings to the package contents so that loading the 3.9 graphics
package into 3.8 is pretty much doomed to fail. I'm hoping that this
will be a one-time situation.

OK, thanks for the suggestion - I shall be investigating Monticello.

cheers,
