Hello fellow Squeakers,

I put up a new version of VI4 at http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/VI4,
which allows Processes to be copied safely (send #copy to a suspended
process).  This is needed for continuations.  However, I haven't added a
continuation protocol since I'm not sure what it should look like.  John,
thanks for building the Mac VM; can you please build another one using
the latest changes?  You can upload it directly to the VI4 swiki page (the
swiki upload username and password is 'squeak' and 'viewpoints').  I
would greatly appreciate it if others could build and upload VMs for other
platforms, particularly Linux.

Cheers,
Anthony

P.S.  Thanks for the kudos from many of you.  It was a lot of work but I
believe it is worth it.
