Well, that's a good question. I ultimatly would like Squeak to not care what platform it's on, just do the right thing. On a mac a unzipped zip archive show the image and changes as generic icons, and will not start the vm if double clicked. Is this how a unzipped archive behaves on win, linux etc ?
On Windows, file types are determined by file extensions, so unzipped files would work the same.
On KDE, file types are determined both by magic numbers/strings and extensions, and so would work the same.
