With 64Mb of RAM just use a normal image. Windows CE will only let
Squeak have about 13Mb without using memory mapped files. It is
possible to expand that by using a file on a storage card. 13Mb is
only just enough to use a normal image.

There is a small limitation with the memory mapped files on storage
cards. The path is hard coded. You're fine if your storage card is
called "Storage Card" but not if it's named anything else. The quick
and dirty fix is to just change the constant path then recompile the
VM.

You will want to get access to the left and right mouse buttons. Genie
works well.

You'll want to download the Lucy font if you're using
Morphic. Otherwise you will not be able to see all of the World menu.

I've messed around a little with modifying the GUI. But my knowledge
of Morphic is limited, my code is messy and breaks MVC. However I did
get it working well enough to provide a comfortable environment to
read code.

The standard Browser window isn't really that suitable for a small
screen. I modified it to use pop up windows instead of panes to select
the method.
