For those of you not on the VWNC list here is an interesting post from Terry Raymond. He now has 2.2 mb base image which I believe he is using to support Smalltalk scripting type of functionality. The image only supports file-ins and chunck format at that but he stated the he could probably add support for parcels. Apparently, said support may add another 1 mb. I assume that if on Windows we should still be able to use compression and Reshacker to deliver a relatively small exe which matters to some for example those downloading apps from the web or perhaps folks deploying on PocketPC devices etc. If this can be made to support parcels maybe its the start of an SRE (Smalltalk Runtime Environment).

Hi

There is now a stripper for 7.3.1 in
http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/CincomSmalltalkWiki/DOWNLOAD/CODE/stripper731.zip

Watch the word wrap.

Read the include readme and follow the instructions to create a
small(2.2mb)
7.3.1 image.

The stripped image does not support parcels.
