Protogrowl

Greetings,

I am trying to figure out how to use ProtoGrowl in Squeak.  I am
assuming that I have to load some package and include the library much
like one does with scriptaculous.

I cannot find the package to load, I have looked in squeakmap but
nothing obvious.  I have also looked at the seachart site where there is
an example (a nice example) but no clue on what to load into my image.

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Frank

Thanks for the pointer.

Could anyone clear up some confusion on my part - I am trying to figure
out how one finds things.  I used SqueakMap Package Loader and looked
around but could not find anything about protoGrowl.

I used Monticello Browser but how does one figure out which repository
to use?  And, do you just experiment with different repositories (using
the method of exhaustion) until you find what you are looking for?

Sorry if this is too basic a question.

I sincerely appreciate any help,

Frank

The repository listed at the bottom of the page:
MCHttpRepository
    location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/seachart'
    user: ''
    password: ''

SqueakMap is a good guess but, as you've seen, some packages aren't
available there (or the version on SqueakMap is old and you might want a
newer one).  Package universes are another source but I seldom use
them.  The next source to open a web browser on www.squeaksource.com,
click on the "Projects" link and enter a search term.  If I do this with
the term "protogrowl" then squeaksource lists the SeaChart package.  If
I click on that package I see a very long web page where, down at the
bottom is a section with the heading "Registration" and the text:

MCHttpRepository
    location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/seachart'
    user: ''
    password: ''


(I'll refer to this text as the "repository spec") Copy that text to
your clipboard, go to the Monticello Browser in Squeak and click
"+Repository", select HTTP from the menu and paste the repository spec
into the dialog and click accept.  The SeaChart repository is now
available in the monticello browser.  Select it in the right-hand pane
(if it isn't already selected) and click the "Open" button.  Now you're
browsing the SqueakSource repository for SeaChart...there may be many
packages there.  One of them will be ProtoGrowl.  Keep in mind that most
developers use SqueakSource for unstable releases so you might want to
read the package comment before you load it.  Once you've found a
version you like, click "Load". ;-)

HTH,

David
