Folks,

As already announced before I've updated the Win32 VM with some new stuff.
Besides lots of cosmetic changes in the source code there are a couple of
interesting things for all of you Win32 users such as:

* UDP now works (finally!)
  [and with the latest updates there is also the image support for UDP
sockets]
* Wheel mouse support
  [which should now run on all different Win32 versions, but needs the
CTRL-Up/Down support Bert posted]
* Squeak running in a browser
  Experimental support for basically 'wrapping' Squeak inside a web browser
  [ Look at http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~raab/squeak/plugin/ ]
* Startup changes
  If there is no image name given or the image is not there Squeak now tries
to find the image file automatically (by searching for exactly one image
file in the start directory) and if this fails prompts the user with a file
open dialog.
* Better Windows CE support
  The latest Windows CE executables have support for sound, networking
(untested though!), the 2D and 3D Balloon engine, and all of the color
depths. The VMs for SH3 and MIPS based devices can be found at 
	http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~raab/squeak/WindowsCE/
  [Running Squeak-Alice on a Mobilon Tripad from Sharp is quite fun - but
pretty slooooow]
* Fixes to image save stuff (which prevented the image file from getting
smaller)
* ... and the missing directory delete primitive ;-)

The executable itself can be downloaded from

	http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~raab/squeak/SqueakExe.zip

or the full package (including the latest updates) from

	http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~raab/squeak/Squeak.zip

I've also updated the sources which can be found at

	http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~raab/squeak/src/Win32Sources.zip

Have fun!
  Andreas
