[Help-smalltalk] arch set up, and future plans

[Paolo Bonzini]

Just for the record, the GNU Smalltalk arch repository is also available 
from http://arch.sv.gnu.org/archives/smalltalk/

The archive name there is address@hidden; however, if you were 
already using my arch repository you don't need to switch anything 
because both repositories are synchronized.

As a benefit of this new set up (or rather, of me wasting an afternoon 
to set it up), GNU Smalltalk also has a CVS repository on savannah.  You 
can check it out with:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/smalltalk co 
smalltalk

I've also committed a few interesting patches:
- implementation of Unicode characters and strings
- fixes for pipes on Mac OS X and improvements to FileStream (which do 
vastly fewer gratuitous lseeks, and know about the relatively new system 
calls pread and pwrite)
- move #fileIn from FileStream to Stream (which fixes a few other bugs)
- add the command-line parser that I posted a while ago

I'm inclined to do a beta very soon, and then release this as 2.3 
directly.  Sorry for skipping the 2.2.1 release that would have been 
necessary.
