I can't speak for what versions support which type (old,new) but I do know
that if you read the "computer programming using GNU smalltalk" book that
was released last year, they push the new style format (see page 61)..
I believe this is mostly GST specific for the most part.. I don't think
any
of the other ST players (Cincom, Pharoah, Squeak,etc) have one particular
standard they follow -- there are conversion tools to move between the
dialects..

HTH!
