Ooh, I'm not sure I'd load both. No telling what confusion might arise.

Good.

d'oh! Bad move. That's a really old version of VMMaker kept
available for really-behind-the-times-man.

You shouldn't need to set the platform type - it is defaulted
to whatever Smalltalk platform returns. Ah-hmm. wonder if those KCP
doods have twisted that bit yet?
The platforms path defaults to {current directory}/platforms but you
can point it anywhere sensible. 'sensible' means a directory that has a
subdirectory called 'platforms' and where said subdirectory has at
least the 'Cross' and '{your platform name here}' directories from the
CVS tree.

On unix OSs, it _should_ work ok whatever combination of internal and
external you choose. Ian went to considerable clevertrickiness to make
the config stuff derive the proper mix from the intplugins and
extplugins files that VMMaker writes.

On windows I think you have to make everything internal, on Mac I think
ditto (except the mpeg?) and on RISC OS make it all external.
