Hi,
  I have two uploads related to this.

Call this a 2.8 mac beta package
<ftp://st.cs.uiuc.edu//Smalltalk/Squeak/2.8/Squeak2.8-2342.sit.bin>

This is just a .zip with the changes and image for 2.8 up to 2342.

<ftp://st.cs.uiuc.edu//Smalltalk/Squeak/2.8/files/Squeak2.8-2342.zip>

Hmm, two celeste bugs though:

- The move again button extends outside the frame.
- The date and time on this message have the wrong day (sat) vs (tue).

cheers

bruce
