You need the TestOSAPlugin, I've emailed you a copy.

Squeak isn't AppleScript aware, it could be, just a few good 
hours/men/coders are needed to add a bunch of stuff. I mean one could 
get Squeak to execute arbitrary Smalltalk via an applescript call, 
now if that is a good idea that is another issue.

In the update that went out yesterday
3536macVM3-0-2UpdatesJMM.cs -- John McIntosh -- 6 February 2001
Update the macintosh source to match the V3.02VM.
This is an attempt to drag the project files towards a more current release.

There is a change to the CodeWarrior project in the 
projectArchive.sit , I've exported the project I'm using to build 
3.0. Import this into CodeWarrior, and try that. If you get the same 
error let me know.
(Sign didn't update the readme)

Ok how about you shake out the bugs as a novice builder for me, then 
we'll get it right for the pending CD eh?

I'll look into this, Since Jitter 3 is using MPW there has been 
discussion of offering only an MPW version, versus a CW one.
