In the other hand I find difficult to see two VM with hashes and instances assignations in sync for a clean swap.
Cheers, Sebastian PS: by persistant I mean a smalltalk that has it's instances "living" in a persistent medium and the VM uses the RAM of the computer as a mere cache. Based on the blue book and with some theoretical guidelines from Guille here I've was able to make a prototype of a persistent ST for business objects (it didn't persist contexts and such) _______________________________________________ Exupery mailing list [email protected] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/exupery
