It sorta works on my Pi; rather slowly but that seems to be an oldish looking image. It also fail when trying to dreatee a log file of some sort because the ancient AcornFileDirectory code isn't handling /Users/tim/Dowlnloads very well. Not too surprisingly, to be honest. Quite where it got the idea that the default directory is a UnixFileDirectory on /Users/tim/Downloads I'm not sure. Oh, wait; something in the FilreDirectroy startUp failed because of an invalid utf8 input detected. Holey Kao - that UTF8TExtConverter>nextFromStream: method is scary.

But bugs can be fixed and this would make a neat project to extend and improve and make into a usable application.
