Today we'll have a look at how you find and clear (or reconfigure) breakpoints - something that can be quite valuable after you've dropped a number of them during a debugging session. To start with, pull down the Tools menu in the launcher
In the tool that comes up, you'll see each breakpoint you have listed. You can select them from the list, and then use the various menu options on the selection:
Specifically, you can select Clear (to remove) or Configure (to reset the way the BP works) from that menu:

We are changing the install process for VA Smalltalk V8.6 (or whatever the next release gets called) to provide a more natural (and faster) install on all platforms. At the moment, we have released a BETA version for Windows only.
The new installer simplifies product installation by:
installing both client and manager as the typical installation
complying with Windows installation conventions and security measures (UAC)
facilitating local installation of documentation as a separate install package
providing tooling to create and manage development environments after product installation
Cincom is asking interested parties to tell the what platforms they care about. Especially if you depend on one of the lesser used platforms listed, you should let them know.

Today we'll have a look at the support for Unix/Linux processes in VA Smalltalk. To start out, we'll have to open up the editions (application) browser:
Load the only version, and then browse the application. Have a look at class UnixProcess (class side) - notice the APIs for starting a shell or a process? If you examine UNixEnvironment, you'll see APIs for dealing with the environment:

This article is a bit over the top in the "Microsoft is Doomed" category - but I suspect that MS is just about at the point IBM reached in the late 70's, before it all came apart.

We've already looked at code completion support in VA Smalltalk, but there's another tool that can help you get code written more quickly - abbreviation support. If you go to the options menu of the launcher, and pull that down, you'll see it:
This support is separate from code completion; to get any of the existing abbreviations working, simply type one in, then hit <shift> <space>. It's easy enough to add your own as well - say you want one for #ifNil:

As many of you know, AT&T has implemented caps on DSL usage. When this was implemented, I started getting emails letting me know my usage as likely to exceed the cap. After consulting their Internet Usage web page, I felt the numbers just weren't right. With the help of Tomato on my router, I started measuring my usage, and ended up with numbers substantially below what AT&T was reporting on a day-to-day basis. Typically around 20-30% less. By the way, this usage is the sum of inbound and outbound. At this point, I decided to contact AT&T support to determine what exactly they were defining as usage, as their web pages never really define it. Boy, did I get a surprise. After several calls, they finally told me they consider the methodology by which they calculate bandwidth usage to be proprietary. Yes, you read that right; it's a secret.
I've noticed the same differential on my "usage" tab on my iPhone and the text messages AT&T sends out.
