Version 8 is still available (see the minnow page), but not
from SqueakMap.

>I'm curious as to why you removed Zurgle from the mix

There were too many conflicts to resolve (for instance StarBrowser 
didnt work) and not any squeak user is satisfied with a WinXP like
look. If you need Zurgle you can install it manually after Developer 
Workspace.

Squeak get's a hopefully better look with 3.7 anyway.

>Nice work,

I just assembled the packages so it is more transparent to 
first time users - thanks go to all the people maintaining 
the squeak projects, goodies and packages.
