Hi,
Ian has already responded, but, I think I got a working 2.3 on
Solaris by generating interp.c from a 2.3beta vm and the 2.3 image,
changing all ^M to ^J via xemacs, and then copying that to
gnu-interp.c and running make. It does properly execute
(FlashMorphReader on: (HTTPSocket httpGet:
'http://www.audi.co.uk/flash/intro1.swf'
accept:'application/x-shockwave-flash') processFile.
from the readme. In this case "properly executing" is defined as
playing an advert for Audi :-)
cheers
