Anthony,

I would like to nominate you for squeaker of the year, for 
2002.  :)   Thank you.  It works perfectly.   I can now generate the 
interpreter and plugins from a BlockClosure enabled image/vm.

I personally do this from the Source Forge source code under win32, with 
the addition of a changeset which patches some large file helper 
primitives.  (Since the SF code is in great flux at the moment, I won't 
post it until we can restabilize the code there.  I believe win32 is not 
supporting the latest changes)

Rob
