The same way. There is a link to "Distribution Scripts" from the Julia
Explorer page with the details. In fact, packaging FreeCell might make
a more interesting example than packaging Julia Explorer. :) I just
happened to have written a program I wanted to show some non-Squeak
people, and so took the excuse to play with packaging issues.

If your interest is in distributing an easy-to-install application, then
what is the point of having a tiny image? If you really want to help
the distribution of applications to non-Squeak people, then working on
the distribution scripts on the above page seems more helpful. For what
it's worth, the image for Julia Explorer is around 7 megabytes. I made
no effort to shrink it, and don't really see the point.
Now, minimal images are *elegant*, and elegance is its own reward. :)
But actually sending people a nice program you have written is also a
nice reward!
