[Cuis-dev] Encoding a Form in a method

[Hilaire Fernandes]

For the record, here is what I did. Instead of the Form I have the 
original picture format encoded in the method (JPG, PNG whatever), it 
will be smaller.

  * Read the picture contents as binaryContents

I execute with Ctrl-I : '/home/hilaire/myPicture.jpg' asFileEntry 
binaryContents

  * An insepctor on a BinaryArray  with the full content is open. It
    looks like [153 234 ...]. I copy the array in a method returning it:

pictureData

     ^ [153 234 ...]

  * Another method will return the Form instance based on this picture data:

samplePicture

     ^ Form fromBinaryStream: self pictureData readStream
