Filing in code recipe

If you want to import existing Smalltalk code in Amber, it is doable through the chunk format.

So,

  1. FileOut your code into the chunk format from your Smalltalk environment
  2. Go to the Amber workspace (Legacy browser, not Helios)
  3. Paste the content of your chunk file in the workspace
  4. Select all text in the workspace (or it will not work)
  5. Hit the FileIn button

Of course, it will not always work since there may be unsupported features. But it still is a great way to import existing code and start the porting to Amber.

Note: Works fine in Amber version 0.13
