Merge applications from the existing library to the new library
This section covers how to merge applications developed using earlier versions of VisualAge Smalltalk or VA Smalltalk or VAST Platform (VA Smalltalk) to the current VAST Platform library by importing them from the existing library.
Using the browsers in your current development image, do the following:
1. Version and release all open editions of classes and subapplications, and version the applications.
2. Save to files any text from open workspaces or from the Transcript window that you want to keep.
Then, using the browsers in your new development image, you can import your work from the earlier version's development library into the new development library. The Smalltalk User Guide explains how to version and import applications and configuration maps.
To quickly move your applications, you might put them into one or more configuration maps while working in an image from an earlier release, and then, while working in the newly installed product image, import the configuration maps into the newly installed library.
