Like to know any you could share about steps for having SimpleMorphic  into
Squeak.

In particular, about building windows, as seems me the first thing to do.
Once we have MonticelloBrowser, DependencyBrowser, DualChangeSorter and
ArchiveViewer , could rip old Morphic and have the first Squeak of XXI
century.

This also give us a glimpse of how a Traslator package could be.

I excited...and very grateful to you and to Juan.

Start with a fully updated trunk image (including the ToolBuilder changes
that I added yesterday). Then load the latest versions of packages
SimpleMorphic and SMx from the SimpleMorphicSqueak project on SqueakSource.

Then from the toolbar, Projects -> New Project -> new SMxMorphicProject

Notes:

Do not save your image while running SimpleMorphic, because restarting
a SMxMorphicProject does not work yet (so just return to previous
project before saving).

You may also need to load a couple of methods from a package in the
inbox, Morphic-dtl.523. Otherwise you may need to manually re-initialize
classes Editor and TextEditor after re-entering a normal Morphic
project.

The main things I have been working on are:

- SMxMorphicProject for hosting the SimpleMorphic environment. This is
currently a modified copy of MorphicProject. Of course, the original
Morphic likes to think that it is the "only" Morphic world, so getting
the two to work together was a bit tricky.

- Toolbuilder support for SimpleMorphic. This is not complete, but the
changes are all in the SMx package and there is enough to make many
of the tools work (but not yet the debugger!!!).

- The Editor hierarchy in Cuis has been updated in a very nice way
(event dispatch) but there are lots of changes compared with Squeak.
Menus are different also. Making SimpleMorphic loadable as a project
type makes it easy to compare the two. I renamed some of the event
handling methods (e.g. Editor>>backspace: becomes Editor>>backspaceEvent:
so the original Editor>>backspace: method remains in place for use
by Morphic and MVC).

Great! Thank you.

Happy Carnaval,

I do this steps 6 March on my own fork SqueakLigh4 which is trunk unloaded a
long time ago and updated with trunk,
All goes right,
Think I share this before...

As I do before your mail, I have a image saved as SimpleMorpic World.
Can open and can go again to Old Morphic via previous project.
Some time later, image go debug mode or windows stop to work.
In SimpleMorphic mode works well.
I could update daily to trunk and to last you publish in SqueakSource.

Wish boldly go "where no Squeak has gone before.² (listen William Shatner
special message to the crew of space shuttle Discovery in his final flight
?).

I do not expect to make any more changes in trunk to support SimpleMorphic,
so if you update one last time it should be good. All the rest will be
in the two packages in the SimpleMorphicSqueak project on SqueakSource.
