The strange thing is that I'm sure this worked on December 31, maybe this fail because the change from year?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks, Javier.

If you use an older VM does the alias get dererferenced or not? If the older VM works I wonder if you could do the following for me:</div><div><br></div><div>1. tell me what the last good version of the VM is</div><div>2. Copy both the current VM's .app bundle and the last good VM's .app bundle. Swap the executable (CogSpur.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak) between the two. Repeat the experiment. Tel me which fails. This will tell me whether something in the Info.plist has changed or whether something in the executable changed.</div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">best,<div>Eliot</div></div>
