Hi all,
I am expecting a visit from a Mac user and try to prepare for the
installation of Squeak on his machine. The task proves too hard for my
limited brain.
I go to http://www.squeak.org/Download/
First I try to download latest release for Mac. I get a Zip file with
two directories:
__MACOSX
and
Squeak3.10.2-7179-basic
A subdirectory of the first is a different Squeak3.10.2-7179-basic. I
find the other subdirectories utterly confusing.
Is this supposed to be the simplest entry into Squeak for a Mac user?
Surely a README file would be useful here.
The Download page also has links into the individual files. I now have
to choose between MacOSX (Universal) and MacOS 7.5.5 to 9.2. A Mac user
would know what to choose here. I hope the choice isn't the latter,
because MacOS 7.5.5 to 9.2 is a dead link. MacOSX (Universal) lead to
the above mentioned two subdirectories, but with different contents?
May be all this is perfectly clear to a Mac user. I'll find out when my
friend gets here.
Cheers
