-Read the [[documentation]].+Note 2: The library uses the ''Values'' package. There has been an incompatible change in version 3. Unfortunately, the old version is in the contribution of VisualWorks up to version 8.3.2. If the old version is loaded, you get errors about ''OrderedDictionary''. This class has been renamed to ''Valuemap'' in the new version. If this error hits you (I tried to prevent this by improving the prerequisites), please load ''Values'' version 3.x first.
