Hi Tim!

Did you just send this mail? The date indicates otherwise, but it was
marked "new" in my folder ...

Up to now, there's noone except Ian issuing new VMs. I am currently
merging your and Dave's XWindow changes with my Netscape plugin stuff,
so I guess I have the latest sources. I was occupied last week but I hope
I'll finish it in a couple of days.

Maybe it's time to create a mechanism for merging fixes between the
official releases? Like a central CVS for the Unix squeak port?

BTW, how do you all feel about adding a "-secure" option to the VM which
would enable the file sandbox even if not run as plugin? Lately, there are
.morphs and other stuff sent around which could do much harm to anyone's 
disk. And most of the time I'm only working with files in Squeak's image
directory anyway.
