Mac OS - path and file name of the VM app

Hi!

I am trying to create a sar file which moves a .bundle directory into
the VM app. Let's assume that my SqueakVM is /Applications/
SqueakVM.app. Then I would have to move my bundle directory into /
Applications/SqueakVM.app/Contents/Resources/.

I get the path to the vm app with SmalltalkImage current vmPath. But
this only evaluates to /Applications/. How do I get the name of the
app directory?

Thanks,
Robert

Which is actually the correct behavior, as the .app is the vm as far as
external appearance is concerned.
Did you try imagePath? You could also have a look at the Sophie File
Locations package.

Hi Robert -

If I remember correctly this does the trick:

Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: 0.

Cheers,
