Thanks, Ian!

However, the update does not seem to work, though. I tried:
MCMcmUpdater updateFromRepositories: #('http://source.squeak.org/ 
trunk' 'http://source.squeak.org/tests')

The "load code updates" button did not work either, i.e. the version  
KernelTests-p4s.64.mcz was not updated.

Cheers,
Bernhard
