Hello! Don't know, how much sense it makes, when i ask for "standardisation", portability .... There are a few (less active) projects floating around in the world wide waiste, e.g. SPORT: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sport/ http://camp.smalltalk.org/ Even within Squeak i had several incompatibilities with .pr files. I really hate that. We here have/had the smtalltalk elite at work, seeming being unable to solve such standard problems ... Second problem: Monticello is not failsafe. I slowed down my internet connection and pulled the plug from time to time during download of updates ... What happened? .... Errors, unresolvable ... I had to shut down Pharo, to repeat the update. I would call that "not transactional ...", "failsafe", "whatever" ....... Please ... you mastersmalltalkers ... this is a minimum standard to be fullfilled nowadays ... And i can't close that window "World->System->About" at 1024x768 resolution .... hmmm .... tnx, Guido Stepken
