I'm aware of that... but I just don't understand what's: 'hash bitXor:'
why (a) is not sufficient ?
hash tables doesn't talk to me too much ;).
What I imagine is that bitXOr gives a logical (byte) representation ? and these are used in a table (hash) to access objects (pointers)?

Hi florent
Read K. Beck idiom on redefining = normally you MUST also redefine hash
the pattern Kent suggested was
Book>>= anBook
(self author = anBook author ) and: [self name = anBook name] (a)
Book>>hash
self author hash bitXor: self name hash (b)
