I tried to compress as much as I can. I put only one project and removed 
the buggy ones.

Yes one contains direct link to other (it was a HTMR one) but this way it 
is less reusable when we do not load the others. So I made another one 
with only one picture
for all the OS.

Thanks for all. The flash is from a friend of mine that is illustrator 
http://herve.flores.online.fr/ but not a computer guy.

Once I shown Squeak and he told me that it would be really interested if 
the technology would be user (not programmer) level because he is doing 
one cd for kids per month.

I do not know what to for those. May be Mark updated the ch1History 
(because it is his slides).
