Ok, thanks.

Right.  I will move the extern to gstpub.h.  The functions in
callin.h are a private interface (even if they are the same as
the VMProxy right now).

Probably the CObjects which stdin/stdout/stderr contain are not
updated properly.  The next version completely dumps stdio in
favor of Smalltalk-buffered streams, so the problem should be
solved.

As soon as I do some finishing touches I'll publish 1.95.5 and
1.96.1, which will be about the same but 1.95.5 will not have
the GTK stuff and the incomplete network toolkit that are in
1.96.  The VM and kernel will be the same in both the stable
and the development version (with JIT).

Things missing for 2.0 are actually few: finish the network
toolkit and integrate WikiWorks; get the free XSL toolkit from
Cincom; port the JIT to the SPARC; and document everything
more thoroughly.

Can anybody on the list send me an XML fileout from VisualWorks
of the XSL toolkit?

Thanks
