[Glass] Saving "large" documents in GemStone

[Joachim Tuchel via Glass]

Hi Dale, Marten, James and Gerhard,

thanks a lot for your comments. I was somewhat expecting something like

I guess if we go with GemStone, we'll do as you all agree is best: store 
external files externally and keep the spc for more important things.
