I had some feedback from a new squeak user over the weekend, so in
ftp://ftp.squeak.org/3.9/mac

we don't have a separate   Squeak 3.8.18beta1U.app.zip
which forces people to download the entire bundle (VM/image/changes)  
from Squeak3.9-7067mac vm 3.8.18beta1U.zip just to update their VM.
if we could add a Squeak 3.8.18beta1U.app.zip  that would be helpful.

The macintosh os-9 user also point out the link on this web page for  
os-7.5 to os 9.2 users (They seem to still exist)

http://www.squeak.org/Download
*MacOS 7.5.5 to 9.2*

points to http://ftp.squeak.org/current_stable/mac/Squeak% 
203.8.9beta7.app.zip
however being a zip file means it's actually unusable on OS-9.

Therefore could we change the link and point to

   	   Squeak 3.8.9beta7.app.sit

which is a *.SIT file and provides a workable result on OS-9 after  
unzipping.

The two files Squeak 3.8.18beta1U.app.zip and  Squeak  
3.8.9beta7.app.sit can be retrieved from
