Hi Adrian Not having much luck really. I've tried two versions of OsProcess, one I found from a previous Pharo message and the other from your link. Both fail to load with Syntax errors and leave all the categories installed but no code. This is the error which was in UnixProcess (a bit odd seeing as I'm on Windows). I also loaded the OsProcessPlugin but that appears to require compiling according to the readme. This all seems to be much harder than it should be, or maybe it's just me. Regards Bob argsAsFlatArrayAndOffsets: anArrayOfNullTerminatedStrings "Given anArrayOfNullTerminatedStrings, flatten the array into a string buffer, leaving space at the beginning of the buffer for a list of C pointers. Answer the string buffer and an array of address offsets. The address offsets may later be converted to C pointers and overlaid on the beginning of the buffer, resulting in a data structure which can be treated as a C array of strings suitable for use as a Unix argv vector." "OSProcess thisOSProcess argsAsFlatArrayAndOffsets: (UnixProcess arguments collect: [:e | e, (Character value: 0) asString])" | offset arraySize flatStringArray ws addresses | "Preserve offset space to hold address pointers." offset := (anArrayOfNullTerminatedStrings size + 1) * self processAccessor sizeOfPointer. "Allocate flat strings buffer" arraySize := (anArrayOfNullTerminatedStrings collect: [:e | e size]) sum + ((anArrayOfNullTerminatedStrings size + 1) * self processAccessor sizeOfPointer). "Flatten the strings out into a buffer, leaving room at the beginning of the buffer for an array of addresses." flatStringArray := String new: arraySize. ws := WriteStream on: flatStringArray. offset timesRepeat: [ws nextPut: (Character value: 0)]. anArrayOfNullTerminatedStrings do: [:e | ws nextPutAll: e]. "Find address offsets to be used in creating the addresses for the strings." ws := WriteStream on: (Array new: anArrayOfNullTerminatedStrings size). (anArrayOfNullTerminatedStrings collect: [:e | e size]) inject: offset into: [:p :e | ws nextPut: p. Cannot store into ->p := p + e]. addresses := ws contents.

The first thing I do (don't know if it's the best idea) when I am searching for a package is to take a loot at www.squeaksource.com and search the project in the "projects" tab. But, it seems to be down for the moment.
Adrien.
For OSProcess, i suggest you read that: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/708 :)

Sorry if this is a bit of a basic question. Could someone enlighten me on how to install packages please. I want to be able to run command files under windows from within Pharo. It looks like I need OsProcess or maybe CommandShell. I assume these should be installable from Monticello. I don't see any search facility in the Monticello Browser and tried a few repositories but failed to find what I needed. What's the best way to find packages.
Thanks Bob
