SSL Socket package for Dolphin 4 available

I'm a newbie to Dolphin Smalltalk and thought I'd cut my teeth by
porting one of my Dylan/Common Lisp packages. It's an interface to
OpenSSL. The package provides the following classes:

SSLSocket
A socket that can connect talk SSL.

SSLeay32Library
An interface to the OpenSSL dynamic link libraries.

InternetSocketClient
Some simple routines for reading/writing sockets and examples of
using SSLSocket.

I've used it on the various SSL web servers I acccess and it seems to
work fine. Assuming I've packaged things up correctly it should be
available at:

http://www.double.co.nz/smalltalk

Hope it proves useful.

BTW, I'm quite impressed with Dolphin Smalltalk 4.0. Very nice and
easy to get into for me, a Smalltalk newbie.

Cheers,
Chris.

so it's proving to be. I have to admit I didn't think much of
Smalltalk on first look a few years back but I'm beginning to rather
like it. I've toyed with Squeak for a while and decided to give
Dolphin ago after hearing good things about it.

I wasn't sure how I'd fare in a single inheritance model given that
I'm more used to CLOS/Dylan where multiple inheritance and multiple
dispatch is more the norm but so far no problems. I'll see what
happens when I dig into something more meaty :).

Ask in this group when you're stuck. 200 people know more than one ;-)

I've had loads of help from this group and solved more than I ever imagined.

Yes!
Smalltalk tends to draw you back to it again and again, simply because
its so productive *and* so much fun.
