But this can not be done for the old v3 image format, as it can't handle immediate Characters and is therefore limited to 256 distict Characters. Additionally, OpenSmalltalk has shifted to Spur only quite some time ago, as Squeak and Pharo have also done.<br /><br />So, I'm planning on removing the v3 image from the <a href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev</a> repo soon. If anybody has some special need for v3 images, let's discuss them.<br /><br />On an unrelated topic, the new directory structure for <a href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis6-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis6-2</a> will also be used for <a href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev</a>. If your specific workflow depends on the current directory structure, you may need to adapt it. Please take a look at 6.2, and see how it could affect you.<br /><br />These changes allow either for simplification of code, or to improve the experience, especially for newcomers and casual users. I believe they are worth the possible nuisances.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br /><span class="sig">-- <br />Juan Vuletich<br />cuis.st<br />github.com/jvuletich<br />researchgate.net/profile/Juan-Vuletich<br />independent.academia.edu/JuanVuletich<br />patents.justia.com/inventor/juan-manuel-vuletich<br />linkedin.com/in/juan-vuletich-75611b3<br />twitter.com/JuanVuletich<br /></span></div> </blockquote> </body></html>
