[Glass] Problems managing files from Pharo and GemStone

[Mariano Martinez Peck]

Ok. It seems that in GemStone GsFile only accepts 0-255 range so I need to
pre-encode strings. Something like this:

myfile := GsFile openWrite: self filename.
myfile nextPutAll: 'myRootObject' sixxString encodeAsUTF8.
myfile close.

is this the way that it should be done in GemStone?

Thanks,
