Hi Göran,
Wow! I have never seen anything like this in Squeak before. Very impressive!
Yes, it is impressive also for us :-) The FractalPlants image (124k) is the bigger image we have created. Images normally takes 64-100kb but do very little things...
A humble little question: Is there any chance your work would result in some little tool for creating such small images? Under Squeak-L?
If it is really needed we can ask for a permition to made it under Squeak-L.
Hehe. Now if we could get a nice binding with a good crossplatform UI toolkit (Gtk or wxWindows etc) and a superfast Jitter from Ian and/or Marcus then Squeak would become REALLY attractive to a lot of developers. ;-)
Out images can determine the minimum requirements for the VM... They can also be used to build the minimum VM that can run them.
regards, Ale.

You can also build images with even smaller footprint using and alternative like the SystemTracer. Here I attach two images in binary format that can work on win* machines (use FFI during runtime) one of 62kb and the other of 120kb They are runtime only, like java programs... Ale.

PS. Marcus - how is it going with your project? Just curious. :-)
