Hans has a web-page addressing this issue. I have no idea how useful or current these materials are in practice, however, and they do require making a separate build of the VM as a shared library, and packaging things as a resource under a fairly straightforward stub program.

Hi, On the mac this wouldn't be too bad, ie, the image could live in a resource and on startup the vm could read that. Windows executables have some sort of resource idea too, right? If so this could also work for them. I don't have a solution for unix short of just compiling it into the vm and then stuffing it into memory. That sounds a bit ugly :-( I don't know about other systems.

There was some talk along time ago about building some way of merging the VM with an image (appending the image after the VM). Has anyone pushed further on this? We've started distributing Squeak 'executables' (lots of things stripped out except for pieces needed for specific applications), and being able to distribute a single file would be great!
