Thanks for the tip Klaus. I'll definitely be able to use this on my desktop mac, but it still doesn't overcome my problems of getting at the company's oracle databases. Maybe when I get home today, I'll dust off my nonworking plugin and ask for help on the vm list( while the docs for squeak suffer, all the user's help has been really great ).

Michael, have you seen the SQLite3 package on SqueakMap. It is more than easy to interface an external library from Squeak, no Slang, no C-compiler needed (if you don't depend on callbacks). The SQLite3 Squeak code is authored for calling into an external library on Mac OS X but it's a matter of minutes to change that to MS$ windoze or linux (I know that you're using Squeak on OS X...) Hope that it's a rainy day at your site ;-) /Klaus _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list Beginners@lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
