Mac VM 5.2.b2 ships

I've push the latest cocoa based 32/64bit macintel/powerpc VM

There was a back-leveled patch for the JPEG2 read/writer which causes the Seasides tests to crash the VM.
This is fixed.

Look for the folder experimental/64bits in the regular places found via http://smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html
or
ftp://ftp.smalltalkconsulting.com/experimental/64bit/32bitImage*64bitVM/

file name:
Squeak 64-32 5.2b2.app.zip

This *beta* VM runs in 32 or 64 bit mode on macIntel, and 32bit mode on powerpc to support Squeak 32bit images.

John, thanks for the more precise directions (yesterday I gave up in confusion). To encourage other mac users to switch,
here's the exact url:

ftp://ftp.smalltalkconsulting.com/experimental/64bit/32bitImage*64bitVM/Squeak%2064-32%205.2b2.app.zip

I've made this my default vm and so far so good (I can open and operate a bunch of my images). I'm looking forward to
apple-Q, apple-H etc working.

Thanks for the shiny new vm!

But at the same time??? I cannot open more than one image at the same time with this version. When I try to open the second one, it is not open and even more, no matter what OS windows I have focus, it goes to the first image. It is like if it thinks that it has already opened the image.

There is a bug in there some where. Some people report it work, it works here, but then sometimes it does not work.

I'll devote some time to it later tonight.

I'f you saw Stéphane comment:

are debug messages I have in the VM to print what is going on.

The VM is given documents to open when it launches and

later when you do things like drag and drop, or double-cllick an image.

It has to open the first image it sees, it has to pass on other documents for processing by the startup logic or drag or drop. Or it has to

decide the document is an image file and we've one open already so we need to launch another virtual machine process to open the image the

guy want's open.
