3.10 vms had hard-coded paths that made it difficult for non-root users to try
out squeak. The newer versions (3.11+) use a script squeak to detect and
launch from any directory. i.e. if you unzip the tar.gz into $HOME/squeak/
$HOME/squeak/Squeak-4*/bin/squeak <imagefile>
will do the right magic env settings and command line parameters to launch
squeak. The bin/squeak.sh is for interactive launches. It throws up a native
file selection dialog so you can choose the image path.
You can use /usr/local/bin/squeak to launch 3.10 and
$HOME/squeak/Squeak-4.0*/bin/squeak to try out newer version.
