SocketStream

Hi -


I have a version of SocketStream from Pharo that's been adapted to work
in Gemstone.  I based it on SpSocket.

At this time it is necessary for the port of Chronos
(http://www.chronos-st.org).  Its possible that I could have adapted
Chronos to use TextOrBinaryFile, but I didn't look into it too much and
here we are.


Where should I upload the SocketStream package on Gemsource? Its the
whole class, or at least enough functionality to pass 14 of the 16
tests. So I don't want to put it in GsSqueakCommon.


Also, I've set it to only access files on the server as it takes much
much longer to access them on the client.  I did that by overriding
FileDirectory class>>onClient to return false, and installing the data
files in $GEMSTONE/seaside/data/.

Thanks

Paul

...  without checking that GsSqueakCommon is the proper spot for this
sort of thing.

In the port, if it easy you might swap out the FileDirectory references
with ServerFileDirectory references ... changing the onClient will
possibly disrupt some things, I know some tests are affected and I
couldn't guess what other things might end up with surprising results ...

GsSqueakCommon would be the ultimate home for that class as soon as it
is ready for prime time:)
