This confirm's Chris' account:

I did a "single executable" in 2007/2008 (can't remember exact date) for
Newspeak (which was hosted in Squeak above a modified Squeak VM) for
Cadence.  We also encrypted the image so it couldn't easily be copied.  The
image was stored in a large byte array compiled into the VM.

Qwaq/Teleplace/Terf was/is packaged as a complete app for MacOS, Windows
and Unix starting in the early '00's (before I got there in '08).  The Unix
packaging work was in late '09 IIRC.

Ted told me that someone on the Squeak list wrote about ST-80 (Squeak?)
