Thanks torsten for the summary
Would not work out of the box with the VM since it requires VM changes. Marco ported them from Newspeak and made them available [1]. Tests went green and he is sucessfully using Alien on Windows. But it is not yet in the official Squeak VM (which is 4.0.2.).
There is also an issue for pharo [2] and an issue for
I read [2] but I could not get what was needed from our side
VM developers [3] to follow progress.
So the code is there and is ready for integration. Andreas asked for the license [4], Marco answered that code was from Newspeak [5].
After that we got a good response from John McIntosh on the license issue [6] which should be OK now. (Dont know, I'm not a lawyer)
After I asked Andreas again he answered that it is not highest priority for him which I understood since Squeak 4.1 was in preparation. See last response regarding this [7]
Dont know what should be the next steps to get Alien into the Win32-VM code base. Maybe Andreas could tell you more.
As a workaround you could use the source provided by Marco to build your own unofficial VM - however you would have to reintegrate anytime Andreas makes a new release...
May be I'm in a good mood but I think that andreas will do it when he got time. I know what is losing time on a lot of tiny boring stuff that must be done.
Bye T.
