That seems odd. I do not see the string 'I AM OBSOLETE' anywhere in the Subversion
trunk platforms source tree. Can you say where the message comes from?

Almost everything in squeak/trunk/Mac OS/ is exactly as John left it three
years ago. I would have thought that it would be possible to re-generate the
sources from an up to date VMMaker, and use those sources along with the
SVN platform sources in squeak/trunk/Mac OS/. There would probably be a few
things that would need fixing up in the platforms sources since three years
ago, but it would not be a lot.

Easy more me to say, I am not a Mac developer ;-)

Thanks,
