[F-Script-talk] newbie questions

[Rainer K. <dri...@ma...>]

Hi all,

I just found F-Script a few days ago and was going through the  
tutorials and reading up what I could find. I also tried looking at  
the list archives, but I get an error when I do that:
"Private archive file not found"
I did subscribe to the list and confirmed, so I think I am properly  
registered.

Now what I wanted to search for was creating classes, having an image  
and a changes file.

For creating classes at least for debugging and experimentation (aka  
hacking ;) I thought it should be possible to create an Objective-C  
class for the "Metaclass". Well, I am probably misunderstanding the  
Metaclass concept still, but this is what I was thinking of:
Just a class with one member that has 2 NSDictionaries, one for the  
members and one for the methods. make sure that it catches all  
unknown methods which get sent to it and then looks them up in your  
dictionary. Would that be possible?

For having an image and a changes file there might be a conflict if  
multiple interpreters are running, at least you would need to find  
some logic, which I could probably look up in other Smalltalks.

I thought somebody probably had these ideas and wishes before, but  
didn't see anything on the website and had no luck with the list  
archive. Could someone kindly give me a few pointers where to look or  
point out why this is silly/won't work?

Best regards!
