Author [VW] Command Line IO and auto generation of an executable in 7.3 ?

Hi, I'm was wondering, could someone update me on the progress of the
command line IO and auto generating of an executable from VW? I was
informed that these features will be in 7.3. Thus, is it possible to
get a pre-release/beta of 7.3? Well, I must go and thanks in advance.

Will 7.3 have the ability to generate stand-alone executables from the
VW IDE? Is there a beta of 7.3 that can be tested because I'm truly
interested
in the standard IO functionality? Are there any white papers that
talk about the Smalltalk Runtime Environment (SRE) in detail?

We won't have a useful SRE until 7.4 (possibly some more for 7.3.1, but
not that likely). The work on this has pretty much just started; we
ended up having a few other things take up more time for this release
than expected. Keep checking the CST Wiki:
