Do you think you'll be able to get a Squeak image below 100k as you were hoping?

My record for a tiny Squeak image that does something useful is one that does
"toothpaste" in 172k. That image still has the bare essentials of graphics (Form
Pen BitBlt) and the UI (Display & InputSensor). My record for an application without
graphics is 136k (~1000 methods) for an image that merely dumps memory stats
to a file (no compiler, no graphics). But I don't count that as a useful application...

In any case, 300k is pretty darned small!
