I love the update feature... Tre Cool. One more very nice feature would be a bug reporting mechanism... I'm less concerned about having nice forms as I am having a quick and easy way to pop something up, fill out necessary info, possibly grab some diag info automatically, and email it off... It would help us all if this existed...
P.S. I seem to have frozen in mid-update. Can't tell you which filestream as they don't have names or numbers...

I am running Squeak 2.0 on Windows 95 OSR2, mainly to run the PWS server. I have been running this for some time, as I when also mounter version 2.1 it seemed to give no advantages, and I am waiting for a stable 2.2/PWS combination.
The problem is that the Squeak image stopped responding to mouse clicks, so that I could not start up the PWS server, or do anything else.
It was not the computer system, as the 2.1 Squeak ran O.K.
Any pointers would be appreciated, to avoid it happening again.

Yes, that would be very nice.

Squeak was recompiling the ObjectMemory hierarchy due to a changed class definition. There are a lot of methods to compile, so this takes a fair amount of time without indicating any progress (because progress is measured by the position of the stream being filed in).
Seasoned Smalltalker's Hint #43: If it's taking longer than expected, hit Alt-. (or whatever your user interrupt key is) to see what it does. Chances are good that you catch it doing some very stupid things. Of course, sometimes it does very cool things which just take a while. :-)

Have you tried to open Transcript while you were updating? It gives you ability to watch the progress.
