Oh.. note that an "image" file in Smalltalk is not a "graphics" file, but a file that contains the binary state of your Squeak system.

Hi,

Yes, it's entirely free and open-source.

This page:
http://www.squeak.org/Documentation/Installation/

is a step by step procedure of starting squeak.

The easiest way is the have a short cut to Squeak.exe on your desktop and drag the image file (e.g. Squeak3.9-final-7067.image) on top.
You can also double click on Squeak.exe and then load the image file when it asks for it. This loads a little slower, though.

If you have further questions, please ask. You might also be interested in the beginners mailing list:

Many experts answer questions, usually right away.

Welcome to Squeak!

Today I tried downloading Squeak. I followed the directions of downloading three types of downloads to my XP computer and nothing happens other than a pop up window asks for me to enter the file for images.

 

I am assuming Squeak is a free download. Any help with this supposedly easy to use software would be appreciated. I like the concept and would like my child to have access to it.

 

Thanks,

Meredith Yoe
