Cincom VisualWorks Smalltalk 7.7 and Seaside 3.0

About a week ago James Robertson began re-doing the >tutorial for Seaside 3.0 and Cincom VisualWorks Smalltalk 7.7.

An immediate problem arises if you installed an >NC image from Cincom without selecting "Preview" components for install: you will not have WriteBarriers.

Just connect Store to the Cincom repository, select Published and load WriteBarriers from down near the bottom of the list - I took the version at the top of the pile.

After that, the Package Manager loaded Seaside-All 3.0-3 with no complaint.

Now to see how often contentType is defaulting to 'text/html' ... (my interest in Seaside at the moment is for generating non-HTML content as Curl markup or 'text/vnd.curl')

PS
  Smalltalk Daily has a post on WriteBarriers.
