Stand-alone Squeak application on MacOS X

If you use the VM form Ian (which can be launched from the command  
line), you can create a file named myapplication.command containing:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
#!/bin/bash
squeak -nodisplay myimage.image
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

The fact that the name ends with .command makes this file executable  
by double-clicking on it.

Cheers,
Alexandre
