[Glass] Develop Gemstone web server app in VW but deploy in Pharo?

[Norm Green]

Hi Frank,

The new GLASS licensing model will be announced at the end of this 
month. I will email you a sneak preview.  We hope it feels better than 
the IRS ;-)

I will defer comments on your architecture to other more seasoned GLASS 
experts.

Best regards,

Norm Green
