In OOPSLA'87 there is a paper by Paul L. McCullough called
"Transparent Forwarding : First Steps". This paper shows an extension
of the Smalltalk system in order to send messages to objects
residing on remote machines. The implementation relies on a structure
storage package by Chris Hibbert that linearizes the representation of
an object so that it can be sent through a network. Does anybody know
if the implementation of transparent forwarding and/or the
linearization package is available ? What are the email addresses of
the authors ? Thanks.
