>From Squeak, you can also check the format an image file on disk:
	ImageFormat fromFile: 'mySqueakImage.image'

Just load package ImageFormat from the SqueakMap Package Browser.

Also look at methods in 'utility' on the class side of ImageFormat. For example, you can do this:

	ImageFormat versionDescriptions do: [:e | Transcript cr; show: e]

The cformat.c program is generated from ImageFormat like this:

	ImageFormat createCkFormatProgram

And a copy of the generated source code is at http://squeakvm.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/squeak/trunk/src/ckformat.c?revision=3774&view=markup
