QUESTION
 Running OS/2 Warp using VisualAge Version 2.0,  can anyone please tell      
 me what VisualAge software components I need installed and what are the job 
 steps to adding SOM objects that we develop to be used as VisualAge parts.  
 Somehow there is a way to get a menu option in VisualAge that says          
 "Create SOM Wrapper", how do I  get this?          

ANSWER
 First you need to have the SOMobjects Developers Toolkit on the machine        
 running VisualAge -- Be sure you have compiled the IDL for your classes into 
 the Interface Repository.                                                      
                                                                               
 Next you need to install the VisualAge SOMsupport.  From the Transcript menu   
 Smalltalk tools, select Install and then select SOMsupport in the listbox.     
                                                                               
 Next you need to create SOM wrapper classes.  Open a VisualAge Application     
 Browser for the application that you want to hold the wrapper classes.  From   
 the menu Classes, select Create SOM wrappers.  The dialog panel will show you  
 the available SOM interfaces/modules.  Select your interfaces and press OK.     
 You need to create the wrapper classes in super/subclass order.  This means    
 that all superclasses of the ones you are creating wrappers for must already   
 exist (have wrappers).  The wrapper class names are derived from the SOM       
 interface names by prefixing with SOM (i.e. SOMObject in SOM is SOMSOMObject   
 in Smalltalk).                                                                 
                                                                               
 Now you can use the wrapper classes like other VisualAge parts by entering     
 their class name in the Add Part dialog of the Composition Editor.  The SOM    
 attributes and operations are available as VisualAge attributes and actions.
