I tried Squeak Universe, Uncategorized Video and Image Processing but it failed to load. I attempted to contact Maintainer Lex Spoon asking for an update but no response so far. I downloaded the .sar file indicated but it's not a fileOut so I can't read and learn to fix it. What do I do with the .sar file so I can read and install the Smalltalk code class by class?
Thanks, Kirk Fraser
Is there a set of old Squeak all-in-one versions to download and try to get the Video tool in Universe to download into the image it was made for? Thanks.

The archives with all the old release are at ftp://ftp.squeak.org/ All in one distros are relatively recent, so you most likely will need to find appropriate sources and VM's to go with the images and changes files you find there, however often later VM's would work with older images.

"Universe" is a funny name for this system, because it is NOT everything in the world, but very much a closed system. There are supposed to be many Universes, each for one version of Squeak. The first Universe was for 3.9. The one you are using is probably the one for 3.10, which was part of the standard release. (Universe was just an add-on for 3.9). The problem is that later releases of Squeak have continued to include Universe, but they are still pointing to the old 3.10 database. The 3.10 Universe should NOT be changed to work with later versions of Squeak. Instead, the idea is that a new Universe should be created for each version. That has not happened, so Universe is not really useful for later versions of Squeak.
if you want to use the 3.10 Universe, get a 3.10 image. Then it should work fine. You can play with the code and see how it works, export it, and try to get it to work in the current version of Squeak.

A sar packageis really a zip file and can be decompressed with a unzipper program.
From there you can look at the different files and see which one is causing
problems.

As Karl mentioned a .sar file is just a zip file. BUT... IIRC the file tool in Squeak can install a sar file, at least it could do that earlier. Try selecting the file and see if there is a button called "Install" to use.
