headless swiki for Mac OS X? -nodisplay and -headless not available?

   I'm trying to get a swiki running on my mac such that it starts at  
boot time and doesn't depend on me starting the Mac OS X Squeak app  
wrapper manually upon desktop login.  Is that possible and if so, has  
somebody documented it?  It looks like it should be possible to fire  
off "squeak -headless" or "squeak -display" in a system startup  
script  but I only find Linux and Solaris versions for server-only  
mode.  The 3.8.latest version of Squeak for Mac OS X doesn't seem to  
like either option.

   Thanks in advance for any insights or pointers to documentation.

   Best regards,

ok, funny you should ask, I added headless support to mac carbon  
3.8.13b4U a week back and was looking for beta testers.
I've stuck in on the idisk and ftp server in the experimental folder.
I'll note there is one bug, because of the copyloop change I've been  
hacking on it does not copy forms correctly when you drag widgets  
about, you get
the form's lower/right pixel rendered incorrecctly.

However as headless and not serving Forms this might not be a problem
Later in the week or next week I'll posdt a 3.8.13b5U to fix that  
problem.

For now look in the usual places via
http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html

for
Squeak 3.8.13beta4U.app.zip
in the experimental folder.


3.8.13.b4  Headless support
                sqMacMain.c
                        headless, set background to false if not headless.
                        alter uuid returned to signify which VM this is

                info.plist
                swap buttons to ensure cmd/opt of trackpad is right
                Add LSBackgroundOnly to yes i

                sqMacEventsUniversal.c
                headless support
               
                sqMacUnixCommandLineInterface.c
                headless parm -headless added
               
                sqMacWindowUniversal.c
                headless support
               
                platforms/Cross/plugins/ExuperyPLugin created

3.8.13.b4, b5, b6, b7
                Had limited distribution to test new button modification logic
               
3.8.13.b3
                bitBlt>copyLoop changes, normally it prefetchs the next byte for  
barrel shifting 64 bits when copying from
                one form to another, and a dirty secret and old bug is that it  
reads one word past the end of the Form
                when it processes the last word in the Form. However when you use  
surfaces where the surface is
                allocated elsewhere not in object space and in fact say the  
allocated form is 2MB and the vm memory
                system makes the frame past the 2MB range non-readable, why then  
you die on a read protection failure.
                So alter the loop to consider if it's preload and the last line we  
don't do the pre-fetch because that could
                cause a read failure.
3.8.13.b2
                Exupery support, via plugin and changes in the VM for Mac Intel,  
use merged VMMaker-Exupery change set

3.8.13.b1
                Exupery support, via plugin and changes in the VM for Mac Intel.
