I seem to have found a problem with SqueakV2.sources. I installed a vanilla Squeak 2.4b on my Mac by downloading the whole package. I noticed that the first N characters were chopped off from all method source and class comments, starting after class Character. After looking at the file SqueakV2.sources, I inserted a single '!' that seems to be missing after the CharacterBlock class comment.
That seems to fix everything a few classes after Character, but there is still a problem. CharacterBlock doesn't show up in the browser, and CharacterSet's class comment and methods display the same problem (the beginning of the comment is chopped off).
First, am I the only person with this problem? Second, what's the best way to fix it? I don't want to go around in SqueakV2.sources and randomly add '!' all over the place.

Hello, What you're seeing is caused by an error in which ever archive program you used to open the archive. If you are using Stuff It, go into the preferences and turn off the option to fix text file line endings. Other programs have similar preferences.
Then reopen the archive. It should work properly.
There was a long discussion on this topic, oh, a month or so ago that can be found in the mailing list archives at: http://macos.tuwien.ac.at:9009/Server.home
Hope this helps.

Hi, The other choice here is that you must download everything in Binary mode. If you let ftp clients self select sometimes they'll choose text mode for this and it won't work.

I re-downloaded the V2 source file a bit more carefully. That has fixed the problem. Thanks to all who answered.
