Whups...I've already run into a few problems! I'm using the 2.1 Squeak.exe
(under Windoze NT) and running the newly-downloaded Squeak2.2.image/changes
files. If I highlight some text it gets totally obscured...the highlight
and the text colour are the same colour. Same goes for the root menu popup.
In a Morphic world there are strange areas near the corners that seem to
attract window droppings..
This doesn't happen under X11/Linux, however, running the 2.1 interpreter and
the 2.2 image.
Also, the PWS doesn't seem to want to start (on the 2.2 image running the
Win32 2.1 Squeak.exe interp). In fact, after doing the PWS initialize on a
fresh server folder Squeak dies...I have a crash.dmp handy if anyone wants it.
I get the feeling the VM exe I'm using isn't too healthy...I'm going to try
setting up a SWiki under Linux and see what happens.
Oh and can someone clear up a long-standing mystery with me: Directory
delimination on differing operating systems! For example, when setting up the
Server Directory in the PWS should I be using 'C:\squeak\Server' or
'C:$\squeak$\Server'? Likewise for UNIX, I guess, substituting \ with /...
The FileStream class 'automatically' figures things out, right (through
StandardFileStream or CrLfFileStream)?
(I hope I didn't do anything boneheaded here...)
