Hello Ross,
I hope I'm not going to tell you something you might already know about Squeak. Squeak, as do all Smalltalk variants (to a greater or lessor extent), provides all source for the entire application environment. First though you have to get within the environment to work. The home page 'squeak.org' will lead you to appropriate download information. Download a package for your platform which includes four files (VM, Image, Changes, Source). Run it. From the 'desktop' select open>>Browser. At that point you are looking at all the source (for the entire system, as well as the Smalltalk to C converter for creating the VM=virtual machine).
The mailing list archives are broken (thus the Forbidden message); we have not been able to determine why at this point.
Version 2.6 is the current version. But the download archives (=> Squeak.org) provide all versions for download.
Usually facilities which have been previously available (such as mentioned for 2.4c, a very recent version), have been updated, or often will be updated if you request so from the submitter.
Hope this helps,

I did see an indication that the Unix source was available, but I'd like something I can rebuild if I want to. I might want to link in some C++ code. I don't know if I need the VM source to do that, but I'd like to have it in any event.
By the way, I tried going to the discussion archives from the main site, and I got a permission error.
Also, I noticed that some items have particular versions of squeak attached. For example, on of the persistence frameworks says it's for 2.4c. Are these likely to work if I try them with 2.6? >>
