ByteMemory comment: 'I have no instances. I provide messages to my class that access real memory as bytes. An alternative implementation would be to have a single instance of byte memory that represented all memory, and at: and at:put: accessor methods, but since you''d typically refer to that instance via a global variable, and since the global variable would probably be named ByteMemory, the actual method invocations are exactly the same in either case.' ! !ByteMemory methodsFor: 'basic'! !
