Hi, when I port a project to GNU Smalltalk I tend to use the snapshot/*.st and convert it. Now with some MCZ versions of Aida/Iliad this is failing because the fileout is broken. The fileout is broken in a way that at some point (without a BOM) the creator started to use UCS-4 (or such) for the strings. This can be seen here[1] and either manually extracting the source and using FileStream>>#fileIn: or by using the MczInstaller on the mcz file (which is not working on the snapshot of the MCDefinition) the import will fail. Is this a known/fixed problem with Monticello/Pharo? Is there a way to re-create the source.st from the snapshot of the MCDefinitions? thanks holger [1] http://www.squeaksource.com/IliadDev/Iliad-Core0.9.1-SebastienAudier.5.mcz
