I changed InfiniteTimepoint polarity: to use
self perform: #future
rather than
self future
and the Chronos package loaded into Squeak 4.2 without complaint. I
don't know what ill effects that may have on the rest of the package.
Things seem to work as expected, but I know I haven't tested it
thoroughly. I think it does avoid the issue I was having with loading
the Chronos package into Squeak 4.2.
Thanks
Paul
