[Squeakland] OLPC squeak on OSX

[John M McIntosh]

Ok by using the unix command ll in a terminal session I assume you  
are a bit familiar with Unix.
The issue here is the executable permission is not set on the Squeak  
VM Opt.  It should look like

-rwxr-xr-x   1 johnmci  staff  2624364 May 16 11:00 Squeak VM Opt

Lacking the 'x' means it won't execute.

Given the OLPC-Etoys070726.zip and in the Finder if you control-click  
on it to get the command menu and pick
'Open with'  it should say that 'BOMArchiveHelper.app' is the  
application used to open a ZIP file.

Double clicking on the ZIP file in the macintosh Finder should also  
run BOMArchiveHelper to unzip the file.

I suspect you used the unzip command line tool to unzip the zip file,  
in checking this way of unzipping the archive I found it does not   
restore the execute bit properly.
