|  Greetings.  We have an evolving application that adds new classes,
|  changes existing classes and disposes of old classes.  Adding new
|  classes is no problem.  We have a solution to the dreaded 'change
|  instance variable of a class and try to read in old versions problem'
|  that works for us so changing classes is no problem.  However, we have
|  now tried to dispose of a class.  No problem... Just link in 'Unknown'
|  and the old references will be read in and blown away.  Surprise
|  surprise.  The code for handling 'Unknown' in Filer.m has been
|  commented out.  Furthermore, the interface to Unknown has changed so
|  even if we compiled it back in it would still bomb.  Sooo, we have
|  left the old class linked in.  Question: Has anyone successfully used
|  Unknown??  If so, can they share the method for getting it work.
|  Enquiring minds want to know!

|  We are running objc 4.0.

We are working on a solution but this will not make it into our new
Objective-C 4.3 release.  When we have a solution we will issue a posting
on the net telling everyone how to get the fix.  Sorry for any
inconvenience this may have cause anyone.
