Thank you, Dan!

Please do.

All I can say, I kind of "fixed" it, by just pretending there is no
Endianess Problem. With this fix, Hobbes works very well on the Unix-VM
on solaris x86. It has a good documentation and implementation of the
Alto Disk and its file system, which I'm exploring right now.

 This is the true root of Squeak.

Ooops. Didn't know that. Thought it was Smalltalk-80. So now I'll have to
see how the ST-76 Emulator works :-). But seriously, in what aspect is ST-76
the "true" root? Does Squeak have anything in common with ST-76 that is not
part of ST-80?

Regards,

Wolfgang
