Hi, Jeff -

I think the nature of your question makes it most appropriate to be 
asked of the Squeak developers (i.e, squeak.org list) and not the 
Squeakland list (as I saw you did.) So as not to confuse us 
"Squeaklanders"......I doubt many of us (myself included!!) knows 
what a SAR is (other than that nasty virus that was recently plaguing 
a variety of spots around the world).

Those of us in "Squeakland" use the Squeak "Plug-In image" downloaded 
from the Squeakland site.   We NEVER save an image, nor do we concern 
ourselves with customized change-sets, file-lists, etc.    We 
"publish" projects "out" to a local disk or server, and then "read 
them back in" as a .pr file.  Any practice other than this should be 
discussed with the "squeak list" so as not to cause confusion or 
throw too many "weird terms" our way....therefore if folks are going 
to ask/discuss things like change sets, file lists, or SARs, 
SqueakMap, etc. please remember there are 2 communities and try to 
address your questions accordingly.

thanks - I know it's hard since many of us live/play/create in "both worlds"..
cheers,
Kim

PS - Hope you got your answer!
