just noticed nextString and nextStringPut: in ExternalStream -- what is
this all about?
nothing in the standard image or the standard parcels I use send these
messages, so no clues there. They have something special about strings
longer than 192 characters.
What is this all about? Should this behavior be obsoleted?
nextString
"Answer a new String read from the receiver. The first byte is
the
length of the string, unless it is greater than 192, in which
case the
first two bytes encode the length. "
