Oops, forgot to mention:

- image_version_0_9_bits!.PDB 47 KB (.image file)
- image_version_0_9_srce!.PDB 59 KB (.sources file & .changes file)

The .image file is just specs for (meta)classes, mDicts and methods  
(literals and bytecode). This can be substituted by full  
serialization/deserialization (not implemented due to my lazyness). So  
thisSmalltalk VM creates "native" 1st class LittleSmalltalk objects out of  
the specs, on launch (launch on my Tungsten|C (non-arm VM) is as fast as  
Squeak3.9 launch on my 1GHz notebook ;-)

The app offers a workspace with doIt+printIt and a classic browser.
