Michael,
#initialize methods on the instance side of objects are usually
called at instance creation time, via the semi-standard version of
new:
new
^super new initialize
Class side #initialize methods are a way to initialize class
variables or do other things that set up the environment for
instances to be created in. Today, Cincom Smalltalk has other
methods to do those things, like SharedVariable initializers, and
Parcel and Store Package postLoad (and preUnload) blocks.
Class #initialize methods are the historical way to do these things
though, and they are treated similarly in most Smalltalk dialects.
The way Store treats class #initialize methods should be almost
identical to the way other Smalltalk dialects do, when loading code.
If you already knew all of this, I apologize.
Regards,
Tom Robinson

Nevermind …….
I got what I wanted!
This should be an easy one …..
I am trying to load a bundle I published
into a new image.
When it loads into the new image, Store is
executing some class methods called initialize.
Is there a way to tell Store not to run
those class methods?
Thanks in Advance!
