This is an os-9 feature, not supported under os-x, you need to run the VM under os-9 to use this primitive. But under os-x you can place your squeak.image file in the Resources folder, then the VM will use CFBundleCopyResourceURL to find it.

Thus you must do it in two steps, run the classic os-9 VM by finding the classic os-9 application in the MacOSClassic folder, and run it to make an embedded snapshot. Then drop the image in the resources folder so the os-x version can find it.

Hi,

I retried embedding with MacOs X and again failed. Strangely, I got the follwing error : Failed to write image file (disk full?). It looks like snapshotEmbeddedPrimitive fails although I used a vm.app file which is read/write.

Now I'm wondering whether this feature is really usefull. It seems that nobody cares about it and it may cause some trouble when trying to save after embedding. May be we should remove it.

Hi,

I tried to embed an image into an executable (with the VM) under winXP, but I encountred two problems: -The first (simple) one is that it rejects the original VM with '.exe' extent. So, I had to rename it... -The most important problem is that I could not run the resulting executable.

Any hint?

Thanks

It takes 73 milliseconds for me on a 2.4GHz P4. What is your 'something'? I incremented a count variable.

Hi all.

I tried to calculate something. For Example,

1 to: 30 do: [ :j| 1 to: 30 do: [:k| 1 to: 30 do: [ :l| 1 to: 30 do: [:m| Something :-) ] ] ] ]

Like above.

It takes 50 seconds to finish this loop. Compare to C ( 0.1 second?), I think it is too slow.

Can I speed up?

Thanks in advance.

Howdy Folks.

We're developing a croquet app which does various things, among them is include views and references to files which are better viewed outside of croquet/squeak than in.

I'd like to have a cross-platform method for running the OS's default viewer on files.

For example, the Win32Shell method shellOpen: does this nicely. You pass it "c:\hello.txt" and it opens the file in notepad or whatever app the user has associated with .txt.

Even better, you pass it "http://croquetproject.org", and it launches the user's preferred browser etc.

Is there a class which can do the same thing, especially launching a URL, on mac & *nix as well ?

thanks, Orion

Interesting. So I could use this for ExternalWebBrowser to launch the browser on Mac OS X without the need to have the AppleScript package loaded. How do I distinguish wether the vm is running on Mac OS 9 or OS X by looking at platformname and platformSubtype?

Given that

[ 1 to: 30 do:[:j| 1 to: 30 do:[:k| 1 to: 30 do:[:l| 1 to: 30 do:[:m| "nothing" ]]]] ] timeToRun

Takes about 50ms it's clearly not the loop which slows your computation down but that unspecified "something". So it asking the question of how to speed up the loop is pointless as it only contributes .1% to the entire computation. You would be better advised to repost your question and include what it actually is you are trying to compute.
