Lukas what do you say that. Fixing the API of the RB code model should be simple to do. Especially since the code model does not have to run on all the smalltalk dialect so we are free to fix it. In addition the RB code model has always been a wrapper on top of other. We are working on Ring and the point is to use it to manage the source code and off-line source code model and the one of RB too -- may be you do not believe it but if we do not try we will not move and we should have an infrastructure that enable us to move. Now finally I do not see why changing is a problem, especially since the runtime system does not have to be the same everything. Stef
