[Squeakland] spiral

[Kim Rose]

Hi, Arvind -

Actually, #347 is *not* the latest update -- it is #371.

For the sake of others on the list, please know that  downloading 
Squeak (or installing it clean on a computer from the "Download 
Squeak Now!"  option on the homepage)  will not always give you *all* 
the updates, so it is great to periodically check the Squeakland 
homepage and the "Get Squeak Updates!" button also  found under 
"Download Squeak".

If you do this now, you'll find updates that bring your system up to 
#371.  This includes the fixes I wrote about (fonts) last week.

cheers,
Kim
