You can also omit the argument.

It's not entirely true. The latest release of Unix and Mac interpreter VMs
can read Cog images. Also if there were a new Windows VM released using
the current VMMaker, it would also be able to open images saved with Cog.
The proof is the VM that I built a few month ago
(http://leves.web.elte.hu/squeak/SqueakVM-Win32-4.4.9-2358-non-official-bin.zip
), because I had to read old ImageSegments into a Cog image which were not
readable by Cog VMs.
