The only documentation that I can remember seeing is the class comment
of InterpreterSimulator, which says:
This class defines basic memory access and primitive simulation so that
the Interpreter can run simulated in the Squeak environment. It also
defines a number of handy object viewing methods to facilitate pawing
around in the object memory.
To see the thing actually run, you could (after backing up this image
and changes), execute
(InterpreterSimulator new openOn: Smalltalk imageName) test
and be patient both to wait for things to happen, and to accept various
things that may go wrong depending on how large or unusual your image
may be. We usually do this with a small and simple benchmark image.
You will probably have more luck using InterpreteSimulatorLSB or
InterpreterSimulatorMSB as befits your machine.
I'm no expert here, but stepping through the above in a debugger is
enough to get you started.
