[Glass] xml pull parser for gemstone/glass

[bobn at rogers.com]

BTW: I am trying to get GemTools to work in my Pharo image (Pharo3.0 update: #30598) with the non-GLASS GS, but running...

  Gofer new

    squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
    package: 'ConfigurationOfGemTools';
    load.
  (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfGemTools) 
        perform: #loadLatestVersion.
  (Smalltalk at: #GemToolsHelpBrowser) open. 

...but when #loadLatestVersion is sent I get a syntax error...

ffiPrintString: aString
"FFITestLibrary ffiPrintString: 'Hello'"
<cdecl: char'>' expected -> * 'ffiPrintString' (char *) module:'SqueakFFIPrims'>
^self externalCallFailed

...so now I'm hacking away with one-click GemTools Pharo image

This is where I expose my ignorance: I don't know how to connect a Pharo image to a non-GLASS GS. 
It's probably trivial, which makes it all the more embarrassing ;-)

Perhaps I should have asked a more general question: what are the options for parsing XML on GS and which one is recommended for simple files?

The XML in this case is my own data export from another GS repository. I could use VW to parse and load the data, but I'd like to makes this all work from a Topaz script.

Bob,

AFAIK, the code should load in exactly the same way into a non-GLASS gemstone setup as well, providing you have Metacellopreview and Grease loaded.

But I'm a GLASS user, so I might miss a detail about the non GLASS?

Hello all,

>I used Metacello to load the code into a Pharo image, and I'm sure that I can get the code in GS various ways, but it feels like I'm hacking ... there must be simple way (I've had my head buried in our application framework code; not enough time to learn new things).

There were some unimplemented messages being sent in the original code base, which gives me the impression it is a work in progress. So, we will have to see wether the GLASS and Pharo versions diverge or merge.
