Squeak on iPaq..success!

Well after several re-flashings of the iPaq's flash with successively smaller
images, I've finally gotten Squeak 2.9a up and running on the iPaq.
I used "Smalltalk majorShrink; abandonSources" and got the image down to 1.7
megs with a tiny changes file...more than enough!
So, as soon as I can break my ancient Xap Shot out of mothballs I'll try
to snap a few pictures. MVC looks really sharp on the iPaq LCD, I must say. :)
One nice thing about the Xserver on the iPaq is that it operates in both
portrait and landscape mode...the Browser is quite readable and usable
in landscape mode.
A couple notes:
The majorShrink seems to have had some unpleasant side-effects. When I
save the shrunken image I get an error box complaining about a missing
seperator. Still, it saves the image.
As I briefly mentioned, using "Smalltalk lastRemove" seems to hang the VM.
If you cmd-. you can break out of it..it seems to be hung in a Semaphore.
Ok...well, next step: Morphic!
