Updates

Hi Folks,

I did a new commit/push to github.

Biggest news is that I integrated Masashi Umezawa's FileMan into Cuis
base image. The objective is to replace the FileDirectory and
DirectoryEntry hierarchies with a simpler and more consistent API. Tests
are in the Tests.pck.st package. I added a few new tests, and tweaks to
the code to make them pass. Check the changesets and tests if you're
intetested (feedback very welcome). You can nos start updating your
code. After all users in the image and packages are updated, we'll
remove the old API (or move it to SqueakCompatibility.pck.st), and name
the result Cuis 5.0. Thanks Masashi-san!

After some comments on squeak-dev, I made some punctuation marks
slightly larger and easier to see at mid-small font point sizes.
Original glyphs available as option. Also, Dan Norton updated the
TerseGuide.pck.st package.

Also, minor tweaks here and there, and in some optional packages.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich

what your thoughts were)  Also, do the latest commits include a means to
remove the existing FileDirectory/DirectoryEntry code to make sure we've
gotten everything?

Juan,

Thanks much for this!

More than once I have been puzzled in debugging as my old eyes had trouble noting the difference between #, and #.  !

Cheers,

I have no preference. Do as you prefer.

Well, not yet. I just integrated the code, but the rest of the base
image is still not using it. So yes, you can complain that I added
unused bloat :) . We'd start migrating the API users, and when we are
done, move FileDirectory/DirectoryEntry to SqueakCompatibility.pck.st,
and call it Cuis 5.0.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich

OK, I'll keep it in Tests-File.  However, after looking at it I realized
I'll have to wait until you've integrated it into the core as those
tests depend on FileStream using FileMan.  And given what a mess I just
made trying to get the parts I could converted, I need to spend more
time understanding how to map FD/DE to FS before going any further.

Fair enough re: not having gotten to it.  It's not a big deal since
we'll eventually have the ability to load it back in until we get our
code migrated.  We'll forgive you the bloat this one time :-)
