  Hi,

  I updated the port of an object-oriented programing
environment Squeak for ICRUISE PDA.

  There are quite numbers of enhancements.  The most novel
function is:

      A Web server with the digital camera controller
      running on the PDA.

  You can run a Web server on a PDA with a digital camera
and get the image on the camera by sending a request to the
server.

  The functions added to VM since the previous version are as
follows:

    * Networking
      You can write the network programs using the Squeak
      classes such as "Socket" and "HTTPSocket" on the PDA. 

    * Serial Port
      You can manipulate the serial port and the IrDA port
      as objects in the programming environment.

    * External Keyboard
      You can use the external keyboard to input the program 
      text.  The keyboard shortcuts are also available.

    * Smooth Event Handling
      The response for the quick user operation is improved.

  A puzzle game called "Hakoiri Musume" and a simple drawing
tool example are included in the distribution.
