[squeak-dev] Porting my programs from Squeak 3.10.2 to 3.5

I'm running Win 7. It has an automatic association between extension and 
executable.  I double click an /.jpg/ file and a picture viewer opens. I 
double click an /.image/ file and Squeak opens on the image.

I have tried opening a Squeak 3.10.2 image with the Squeak Cog Spur 
Virtual Machine. It seems to work, but I'm afraid there might be some 
hidden problem?

A solution with a wrapper would be ideal. It implies that every Squeak  
release will include all old VMs in addition to the current one.
