The olpc etoys image now contains the compatibility code, as update 1666simpleSwitchMorph-apb for etoys2.2.

For the moment, the TestCase subclass included with Andrew's fileout is omitted, since SUnit is absent from the olpc and Squeakland plug- in images. In due course we'll get that SimpleSwitchMorphTest code into the development version of the olpc code base, however.

Hi David -

If you can find a bit of time to assemble a set of patches which will make those examples work, I'd be happy to fold them into the system to make sure these examples work out of the box.

Cheers,

turns out that my problem was that I was using an old 3.8 image

I learnt from the book how to file out and file in - as soon as I tested my
code in the 3.9 image it worked fine!

A friend sent me some other information from the bugs site pointing out a
bug in SimpleSwitchMorph in earlier versions:
 http://bugs.squeak.org/print_bug_page.php?bug_id=3530

Summary: 0003530: SimpleSwitchMorph does not actually implement
switch functionality
In 2007,  many people's introduction to Squeak may be with an image
derived from 3.8 (*). So I wonder if the book should not mention this
patch prominently at the start of the First Application chapter.
By the way, I probably learned a lot about Squeak by wrestling with
this for a while this weekend without access to internet or a 3.9
image :)
