Description:

Note: This package is included in Squeak 3.7 and later.

Adds a "name" instance variable and accessing methods (#processName; #processName:) to Process. This enhancement encourages the naming of processes for easier debugging (it makes the process browser nicer to look at (but only when processes are actually named)). It also adds the method BlockContextforkNamed: and BlockContext forkAt:named: for easy forking of named processes.
