	You missed the 'Win32OSProcessPlugin.dll' plugin. It's my fault,
I did upload the plugin but forgot to enter it into 'SqM.ini'. 

	SqM could not find it and fall back to loading a classical
image.

	If 'Win32OSProcessPlugin.dll' was found, more plugins and
modules will be downloaded. 

	Then your computher should be started and Squeak will start in a
full screen mode with transparent desktop and FreeCell is ready for you
to enjoy.

	Sorry about this bug. It will be fixed. In the mean time, maybe
you can play around with the Tuning Params.

	Cheers,

	PhiHo.

Hi PhiHo,

Brief question: What do I double click? If I start the executable it
prompts me for the image to use. Do I have to set up some specific
association with .st files and then double click the freecell.st file?

Anything else I'm missing?

Cheers,
  - Andreas
