Still there are three basic things I miss hardly in a unified way from the out of the box PHARO/ PHARO VM for the standard platforms (Unix, Win, Mac): 1. ability to execute another process (to start another executable process either asynchronous or blocking until the external process is finished) 2. ability to open a browser on a URL 3. Query for the native platform HTTP/HTTPs proxy settings (if there is one) so Zinc and others work behind a proxy. Situation hasnt improved on this side compared to Squeak/Squeak VM times (which also did not provide something like this). I know there is OSProcess, FFI, NB, and my OS-... packages and anyone could roll their own. But I would like to see this included BY DEFAULT in an easy and uniform way: either in the VM or default image even when on exotic platforms it returns ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE. Any comments? Thanks T.
