But I didn't manage to load the cormas parcel (as explained in the presentation mentioned above). I needed to change Visual Works home directory by going in the file menu, "set VisualWorks home" screen-shot below:
I still couldn't load it from the menu "System/Load parcels named" but I could load it from the menu "System/parcel manager", then load file:
It seems to work well. The Cormas parcel loads and I can see a Cormas option in Visual Works' tool menu:
