Bill:
Ok .
A quick try shows what 3.9 could load from SqueakMap and what some is wrong
with some Form (I investigate more this)
Also, what StrikeFonts used by Jim could be replaced with ttf.
I on Mac and don't have Tahoma.ttf , but from previous experiment have
Arial, Comic Sans, Verdana , New York .
In parallel I try the zurgle34.sar on my minimal SqueakLight and load with
some complaints.
Don't work as Jim use .bmp for all picts and I choose the Procustian way of
only .jpg/.gif/.png, but some conversion could do the trick.
I must quit now, but email private for coordination.

And Giusseppe (Lord Z) , I hope you do something...
Edgar
