Hello,
We've been doing this on and off, but we put together another set of files that could be an Etoys system downloaded from squeakland.org as the official new version. This time, it is closer.
Please download:
http://tinlizzie.org/olpc/Squeakland-OLPC-080512.zip
and unpack it. And, on Windows XP or Vista, nagivate to "etoys.app" folder and double click etoys.exe to launch it. On Macintosh, double click "etoys.app". On Linux, execute etoys.sh.
Thank you!

For the records, in the version of windows vm bundled, there is not-yet-annouced-widely useful enhancement to trunk version. (I think we want to merge them to trunk and document it at squeakvm site) . That can expand some variables in SecureDirectory/UserDirectory settings in etoys.ini :
+ %MYDOCUMENTS% will be expanded to actual "My Documents" directory for current user. + Environment variables in SecureDirectory setting can be expanded now.
Bundled etoys.ini would be good starting point to learn the functionality.
Yoshiki, The version of VM bundled have a known problem : %MYDOCUMENT% is expanded with backslash terminated. (I think Squeak part should handle it appropriately) I came to know it seems fixed in the latest stuff on svn/installers when I built plugin installer by myself and test it last night. You might want to check it out.

Yes. Thank you for pointing it out. I think that the latter is in the SVN tree on squeakvm.org, but not the former.

These two binaries are exactly same as far as I can tell with the "cmp" command. Can I cause an error case in some way?

I mean that traditional squeak.exe win32 vm don't have the enhancement. The enhancement has been commited to trunk about 4weeks ago. And we can know exact version of etoys.exe only by binary compare with other from known source ;-), that is problem, I think.

ok, I believe you :-) I can't reproduce the error on font loading, but I saw another instance tonight (error on accessing resource map). I am trying to make case right now.

Please download:
On Linux, this starts off with a window which is larger than the actual screen (1024x768). I had to maximize+minimize to get it to fit within the display.
The attached small patch for etoys.sh will enable images to be started on console also (useful for machines with limited RAM that don't need to run X). Of course, the framebuffer module should be loaded and the user account must have permissions to access /dev/fb0 and /dev/psaux.

Hmm. It didn't happen to me on Gnome on a computer with 1024x768 display. But let me check again.

Hehe. If we include this, it probably means we commited to support it^^; A good idea, though.
Thank you for the suggestions!
