Please (no offense intended), what is meant by tagged, how can users like  
Mathieu or me find out the relation. Tried

- http://www.google.com/search?q=squeak+vmmaker+tagged

to no avail. The 2nd URL you posted below says "hopefully final VMMaker  
relase for building VMs to suit 3.8 and 3.9 images" and the 3.7 word and  
the win32 word does not appear on that page.

I don't know about others but when I see win32 is "only" 3.7-x it is  
automatically associated with old, outdated, "we have excluded you windoze  
users from the good stuff" (no offense intended, just feedback). BTW I  
just saw the question that Mathieu posted 10 minutes ago...

This one didn't work, it complained "Error when resolving package id:  
Error"

Is there a rule for "use this VMMaker version with this <platform sources>  
version". For sure the SqMap version number has nothing to do with  
platform of VM, or has it? The SqMap text for 3.8b6 does not mention win32  
or so. Perhaps this SqMap text is the source of my possible confusion (not  
the reason).

Sure. But we unenlightened make mistakes (from which we hopefully can  
learn).

Thank you for taking care of us.
