That sounds like it should work.

These two symlinks should probably be in the top directory, too.  E.g.:

Smalltalk/Squeak/current_stable -> Squeak3.5/
Smalltalk/Squeak/current_development -> Squeak3.7alpha/

(neither of these would point to 3.6gamma, by the way)

Dumb question since I've been away from Unix too long... is it possible 
to have a symlink to a file? (which is reasonably clear when using an 
ftp client?)  Then we could have:

Smalltalk/Squeak/current_stable -> Squeak3.5/Squeak3.5-5180.zip
Smalltalk/Squeak/current_development -> Squeak3.7alpha/Squeak3.7a-5420.zip

which would eliminate all possible confusion. (I think.)  And Daniel's 
script wouldn't have to look for the file with the right update number, etc.
