[Glass] Depecrated method in GS

[Dale Henrichs via Glass]

Bruno,

That's a good question. Take a look at the programmers guide for out 
explanation for dealing with deprecated methods[1].

While we take care to not use deprecated methods in our product code, we 
do not like to break customer applications so we have yet to actually 
remove the deprecated methods from the system, sooner or later we will 
go through that process so it is worth making a sweep.

Since GLASS/GsDevKit runs across multiple versions of GemStone, I have 
leveraged the use of deprecated methods in the code base and have not 
made a sweep, because the work of using the new method is nowhere near 
the cost of the repackaging needed to continue using the methods in 
older versions:)
