On my machine, the way it was set up ealier, there were two "Library"
folders:  one on its own on my main HD and the other one inside the
"System" folder for OS X.  I moved those two framework folders into the
latter one, as it had a "Frameworks" folder in there and tried to launch
CocoaSqueak.  It started and then gave me a "suddenly quit" error.

I'm not sure what happened.  Maybe I was thinking that it would be like
the versions for Carbon or Mac OS, complete with the virtual machine and
image.  Unfortunately, the Read Me file was unclear on that point.

Great!  I'll look for it on the weekend, after I finish re-installing OS
10.1.
