===== Moving code from Squeak to VAST =====

The chunk format produced by "Squeak fileOutValues" is not compatible with VAST chunk/fileIn. Therefore, we did the following sequence:
  - Grab Squeak file out from [[https://wiki.pdftalk.de/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=values:2022-02-01_values.squeak.zip|here]]
  - Filein code in Pharo 9.0
  - Write "Values" and "Values Testing" packages into Tonel format
  - Import generated Tonel into VAST

===== Problems while importing code into VAST =====

==== Extended classes not existing in VAST ====
The first problem we got is some extension methods to classes that do not exist in VAST. More precisely, "Timestamp" and "ColorValue". 


==== Compilations errors during VAST load ====
The second problem is about methods that refer to classes that do not exist in VAST:

"Valuemap>>atNewIndex: index put: anAssociation"   references undefined variable "tally"

"Valuemap>>removeKey: key ifAbsent: aBlock "    references undefined variable "tally"

"TextEmitter>>streamClass"  references non existing class "TextStream"
