Right.  I know it's a little different, but the script seems better even
though it has this incompatibility.  The occasional confusion when
someone tries to supply an obscure VM parameter and needs a different
syntax from other Unices, is not nearly as bad as the frequent confusion
when a potential newbie does "apt-get install squeak", types "squeak",
and gets a spew of error messages telling you about image and changes
files.

For the record, you can use the "-image" argument with the script to
specify the image:

	squeak -memory 40m -image foo

Also, as you noticed, you can run "squeakvm" directly and act like a
user of one of those inferior Unix machines.


Finally, as shocking as it may be, "man squeak" and "man squeakvm" do
exist and are up to date.
