Hi Philip, Hi All,

Actors for Squeak uses an existing specification for futures. My futures 
package does not conform to this specification.
However I learned that it may be worthwhile,
to provide access to the future itself.
Currently only proxies to the futures' results are provided.

Which Smalltalk (or Cuis) projects do use actors? Meaning: Is there any 
need for such a
package?


Best Regards,
