I've pushed out a 3.8.11b2 Mac Carbon UNIVERSAL VM for people to use  
on old slow powerpc macs, and newer faster better Intel Macs.
Again thanks to Impara for giving me a Mac Mini Solo to cross check  
and compile the VM and plugins with.

Squeak 3.8.11beta2U.app.zip

It can be found by following the link to the idisk or the ftp server via
http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html

This VM should be promoted to the regular FTP servers after a few  
days based on feedback.

This VM supports both the MacIntel environment and uses Unix file names.
Testing is of course on going.  Feedback on peformance issues,  
crashes or bizzare behavior is welcome.
Pending is the compile of the Browser Plugin VM.

This VM also wraps a set of plugins that have been compiled for  
universal support, and we have changed
how plugins are loaded. By default the VM will look for plugins in  
the bundle resource folder for either
bundles, or for unix libraries, then it will look in the external  
Plugins Folder, and in the System/Frameworks
directory if it's determine the FFI interface is asking for a  
framework entry. This change was made because the
MacIntel machines cannot load and use any previous powerpc plugins  
that you may have lurking on your machine.
So for example if you have a KedamaPlugin.bundle bundle around that  
is not compiled for universal support it will not load!


Plugins compiled and provided within the application bundle.
FT2Plugin		FreeType 2 interface (Sophie Support)
LocalePlugin	Locale interface
mpeg3Plugin	mp3
PrintJobPlugin	printing
QuicktimePlugin	Quicktime	(Sophie Support)
ServicesPlugin	Mac Services
SpellingPlugin 	Mac Spelling
SqueakFFIPrims	FFI interface that actually works on Darwin
TestOSAPlugin	AppleScript
