which files to add to a Windows Squeak to make it run on Mac? Linux?

Hello Edgar,

EJDC> Make a folder with the different VM for each OS and with your wished
EJDC> Squeak.nnnn.image , Squeak.nnnn.changes, the both SqueakV39.sources and
EJDC> SqueakV3.sources (for new and old images).

Problem is: which of the many files are the VM for mac and Linux?

The image and the changes must be the same for all 3 OS because I just
use it as a note taker. Projects in projects full of workspaces,
textMorphs and other morphs. No programming.

So one folder, where I have sources, image, changes and the three
startup files for the three OS's. The win VM can reside in that same
folder because it is one exe, one dll and one ini the last one is
created on startup if it is missing.

Ideally the other two VM's would also be a few files copied into that
same folder.

My problem is, having never seen a mac, I don't know which files to
copy. I don't know how to identify a Mac executable and what
additional files are necessary. I don't know if a Linux executable
needs to be in /usr/bin/.... and how to identify a Linux executable.

And then how to create a link which starts the VM with that particular
image.

It's funny how stupid I feel as soon as I'm leaving my known OS.

Thanks,

Herbert
