Some questions regarding 'supplies'
by Suna Ryu 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

1. How can we combine two tools in supplies flap? e.g. Text and line, or Text and rectangle..so on. 2. How can we make tables and graphs with using squeak? 3. What is the "graph"'s function? I can see only one graph looks like a sine or a cosine graph. 4. What is the "ruler"'s function? 5. I tried to use "arrow editor", but i don't know exact function of "sample". How can we drag out a shown arrow to the world? I can drag out a word to the world though. 6. How can we make screen print? 7. In "starsqueak", how can we use "slimemold" and "trees"? are they existed a sort of model? or can we use them for other projects? It seems to me that the couple of models looked like from logo

Puzzle about the squeak's bringing up
by linmh＠mail.ustc.edu.cn 25 Feb '05

25 Feb '05

We always bring up the sqeuak system by two ways:clicking on the VM,or dragging the .image file onto the VM file.I thought the two ways were equivalent,but I was wrong.In fact bringing up by dragging is much faster.What makes the gap between these two ways? Environment: Windows XP Squeak 3.6 And there is only one .image file in the squeak's directory. -- Minghong Lin Department of Computer Science University of Science and Technology of China Hefei, Anhui, P.R.China

install problem
by Erik Nauman 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

I've installed squeak successfully on a set of laptops from a ghost image and it works fine on all except one. On this computer when I open squeak I immediately get handles displayed in the corners of the world and the label "world" and the program is non-responsive, although it will close. It's obviously opening in some state in which the world is an object, but why? And why only on this one computer? I tried re-installing Squeak from the web site but it didn't help. If anyone has seen this before, I'd appreciate your insights. Thanks, Erik Nauman MS Technology Coordinator The Hewitt School
