[squeak-dev] Equivalent to VW's Assets?

Hi,
I'm porting some L&F code from VW. In VW I use the Assets package
to store graphic resources in the image. Is there an equivalent for
Squeak? If not, what's the current best practice for that?

Thanks,

Maybe something like Seaside's WAFileLibrary can help?

Why not just port assets? You have pragmas. Is asserts proprietary?

In the absence of a clear license, given that it was written by Travis
Griggs whilst in the employ of Cincom, I wouldn't risk that.

If you mean rewrite from first principles: the purpose of my email was
to determine if something was already available.

Thanks, that's what I wanted.

If I was prepared to prereq Seaside (which I'm not), then I could use
WAFileLibrary as Matthias suggested.
