[Newbies] Re: Quinto game in SBE

[Scott Wallace]

The olpc etoys image now contains the compatibility code, as update  
1666simpleSwitchMorph-apb for etoys2.2.

For the moment, the TestCase subclass included with Andrew's fileout  
is omitted, since SUnit is absent from the olpc and Squeakland plug- 
in images.  In due course we'll get that SimpleSwitchMorphTest code  
into the development version of the olpc code base, however.
