The VMs for Squeak 4.4 should come directly from the squeakvm.org site and
from http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/ for interpreter VMs and Cog VMs
respectively. All of these are linked from http://squeakvm.org so when in doubt,
look there first.

The all-in-one package is a special case in the sense that it is specifically
set up to run the Squeak 4.4 release image, and therefore we would have no
expectation that the VMs in the all-in-one should be able to run images such
as Etoys, Scratch, and various other pre-closure images. In this case I would
think that Cog VMs would be the appropriate choice, and I see no need for a
separate all-in-one for interpreter VMs.

I would like to see the VM links presented more clearly when the new Squeak
home page comes on line, so I'll take that as a follow up action. Many Squeak
users will be interested in running a range of images, and will therefore want
to install the interpreter VM for their platform in addition to Cog. For that
reason, we should have some clear links to the appropriate VMs for any given
platform (happily now including RISC OS once again).
