Hello


The Swiki page with download information for Macintosh probably needs an
update.
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/306

Or at least a brush up to clarify things.


Could somebody who regularily works on a Mac shed some light
on the state of the Mac VMs.
- Where are the VMs located? "Official place"
- Which ones for which MacOS?
- Which ones are stable?

The quotes below give some hints.

Where is the 3.7.4.b1 VM for Mac located?
Is it stable? For which MacOS is it?
