Opening cross-platform images

Squeak newbie here, so I'm likely to ask all kinds of elementary questions --
apologies in advance.
I am trying to work on both Windows 98 and Mac OS X. I've had terrible luck
with Cocoa Squeak -- not only is the performance surprisingly poky, and
window redraws don't always seem to happen right, but I've had it crash *the
operating system* -- twice! So for the moment I'd like to be using Carbon
Squeak. Cocoa Squeak will open an image just fine when that image was
created on Windows and copied to my OpenBSD server, which is currently
serving Windows using Samba and Mac using Netatalk. But if I launch Carbon
Squeak, point it to the directory on the server containing the image, Carbon
Squeak can't see any files in that directory. The same thing happens under
Mac OS 9.2.
I suspect this is an elementary regimen involving finder info magic --
creator, file type etc.
Can anyone tell me the incantation to get Carbon Squeak on OS X to see an
image on a file server created under Windows? There *has to be* a way to do
this ...
I'm still delirious with pleasure over Morphic -- this is *EXACTLY* the
framework I've been looking for for the last 13 years or so!
