Hi David<br>
<br>
replying to the contents of your mail not to the subject. Sandboxing
is a different matter.<br>
<br>
There are several ways to distribute Squeak as an application. The
Squeak all in one is an example.<br>
<br>
Disclaimer: I never distributed a packaged Squeak application
myself.<br>
<br>
An overview:<br>
<br>
When Squeak is saved it starts just where it was saved, e.g. with an
animation (or your app) runnig.<br>
<br>
There's a startup list in which you can enter messages which are
sent on system startup. (e.g. start and initialize your app)<br>
<br>
Squeak can take a command line parameter which is the name of a file
with Smalltalk source which will be executed. This may start your
app.<br>
<br>
There's a lockdown script which can be used to make the dev tools
unavailable to the end user.<br>
<br>
Scratch and Etoys are examples of applications with the development
tools hidden.<br>
<br>
In the preferences you will find options to disable the search for a
sources and changes file and other things you may find useful for
distributing an application.<br>
<br>
You can resource-hack the icon of Squeak and just replace the splash
screen with your own picture.<br>
<br>
If you want an installable package, people use some of the freely
available installer generators.<br>
<br>
Not sure if this list is exhaustive.<br>
<br>
As a first start I suggest you download the all in one from
squeak.org. Then bring your image in a state that you would call "My
application running". Save that image. Use that image and changes
to replace the image and changes in the all in one (Assuming you use
Squeak 4.4 for your app). Voila, you have a one click application
that runs on Win, Linux, Mac.<br>
<br>
Due to the nature of Smalltalk there is no different VM for an
application. There is no difference beteween e.g. the compiler or
your application. Both are just objects that get sent messages. The
VM runs both in the same way.<br>
<br>
Then maybe you can ask more specific questions.<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm just now getting into squeak and finding it a delightful
programming environment. I am, however, curious as to why some
features don't seem readily available. First and foremost, why
isn't there a stripped down version of the VM that runs Squeak
programs and nothing else? That is, why isn't it possible to
distribute Squeak program to users in the way Java developers
distribute Java programs? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To put this another way, let's say I'm a Squeak developer and
I want to distribute my program to a community of people that
does X. Under the current paradigm, all the people that do X
also have to be Squeak savvy people if they are going to make
use of my program. They have to be savvy enough to know what it
is, install it, run it, install my program, and run my program.
Moreover, they have to know enough about the Squeak interface to
know what to do if they accidentally close my program window.
Conversely, with Java, the user doesn't have to know anything
about Java beyond downloading JVM. In this way, I can distribute
my program to everyone that does X without having to worry about
whether or not they also know anything about Squeak. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So why isn't something like this available? <br>
