I think there is a mess in Mac virtual machine version on squeak.org
If you select <MacOSX (Universal)> from the download page 'Virtual Machine' you get
a <Squeak 3.8.18beta1U.app> download.
If you select <Mac>from the first page Latest Release: 3.10.2
you get a folder with <Squeak 3.8.18beta3U.app>.
BUT a post from John McIntosh sent 19 january 2009 suggest that the 3.8.21beta1U
be the production version:

As I don't have upload rights on ftp.squeak.org , may be somebody on the Web team
may do the necesseray change, or grant me the right to do so.
