dosemu does lots of nice things.  (-:

However, running Squeak under dosemu under Linux is a little tortuous.
Conversely, a self-contained Squeak which runs under DOS extends Squeak's
"reach" (the 'write once, run anywhere' paradigm," makes it available for
those either technologically or financially unable to use something more
exotic, and devotes far fewer resources to what's being used essentially as
just a loader.

My personal vision is a desire to see Squeak used with as little underlying
"clutter" as possible.

Best regards,
