I'd like to see the README (Repository
https://github.com/bertfreudenberg/Smalltalk78) extended with step by
step instructions how to get Smalltalk-78 image to run locally in a
web browser.

Copying the Smalltalk78 image file from another place is fine if I am
told to do so in the instructions.

The instructions should include suggestions about browser versions.

I realize that I tried to load it on FF35 which is probably too old
.... (my Ubuntu 14.04 installation).

Thank you for this wonderful work!
