[Cuis] Cypress compatibility

[Dale Henrichs]

Hannes,

Cypress[1] is a cross dialect disk-based format for Smalltalk package structures.

cuis-cypress[2] is a Cuis native implementation of the common Cypress package format.

FileTree[3] is a Monticello-based implementation of the common Cypress package format. FileTree has been ported to Squeak, Pharo and GemStone, where the development environment has been built around Monticello.

FileTree and cuis-cypress share "the exact same disk format for packages". 

The two projects _differ_ in the implementation of the reader/writers. 

cuis-cypress is based on a reference implementation for Cypress.

FileTree was based on code originally written by Otto Behrens. Much of the code in FileTree is tightly coupled to Monticello. 

The cuis-cypress code borrows the basic ideas and rough implementation of definitions and snapshots from Monticello, but was designed to be independent of Monticello.

| Hello,
| 
| Thank you all for these clarifications.
| I think I understand what Cypress is by now but I do not understand
| how it relates to FileTree. Is FileTree an earlier version of
| Cypress?
