There used to be an option to export all pages as bitmap files. Not  
sure where that option went. But if you get a Smalltalk inspector to  
open on the book you can do this:

self firstPage.
1 to: 28 do: [:i |
PNGReadWriter putForm: self imageForm
onFileNamed: 'Book', i asString, '.png'. self nextPage]

which creates screenshots of all pages. I did that, will send a zip  
separately.

Well, we try to maintain backwards-compatibility. If you find an  
project created in an old Squeakland image and it does not work, we  
consider this to be a bug. In most cases we can still "rescue" it with  
some effort.
