Thank you Frank, having the Cog VMs plus image and sources file for
4.4. which were tested together is very useful.

May I ask you to put  a
    http://ftp.squeak.org/4.4/SqueakV41.sources.zip
file in addition to
    http://ftp.squeak.org/4.4/SqueakV41.sources.gz
for convenience of MS Windows users who do not have something like
7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) installed?

 I haven't yet uploaded Interpreter VMs.
