Serg,

     I got the VM from:

          http://wwwisg.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~raab/squeak/WindowsCE/MIPS/

To load it into the Casio, I made a directory "\Program Files\Squeak" and copied
"Squeak.exe", "Squeak3D.dll" into this directory.  You also need
"SqueakV2.sources", and a Squeak version 2 image and changes file.  I used
"Squeak2.4b.image" and "Squeak2.4b.changes" also from Andreas's site, but you
may want to use 2.4c from the UIUC site.

Then to be able to run this whole thing, I made a new entry in the Casio menu
program to run
"\Program Files\Squeak\Squeak.exe \Program Files\Squeak\Squeak2.4b.image".

Hi Dean,
What files exactly did you load in and where did you get the VM?
Thanks

Rupert,

     I have loaded ALL of Squeak 2.4b into my Casio E-105, using Adreas
Raab's
MIPS VM.  The interface does seem to be a bit slow, BUT the BachStereoFugue
demo
actually works and sounds just as good as it does on my Pentium laptop, or
on my
wife's iMac (333MHz PowerPC G3), so I'm not sure it's the VM that's the
problem.
It may be a WinCE issue.

     For example, my Psion Series 5 (not mx), which is an 18 MHz ARM 710
based
CPU "feels" faster for most common activities than the 131 MHz R4000 in the
Casio, although a 131 MHz R4000 is clearly a speedier CPU.

     What I've been investigating for a few days now is how to make Squeak
useable on that tiny screen.  The art of UI design for low resolution small
displays is not something I have much experience in, so I'm still
researching
the topic.  One thing I'm looking at is how UI things are done on the
various
PalmOS machines.

     I'm also looking at how I can reduce the memory footprint, but since
the
whole thing fits in my machine, this is somewhat secondary to the UI issues.
My
problem is I don't want to give up anything - I just want it to take less
memory.  I've been thinking about making a really tiny image just big enough
to
load an image that's saved with LZW (or some equivalent) compression.  Has
anybody done this kind of thing already?
