[squeak-dev] VM for Win98? (Image file read problem (0 out of 4 byte read))

Kouji takahashi
Hi.

 I downloaded latest Windows VM from www.squeak.org/Download page.
  ftp.squeak.org/3.10/win/SqueakVM-Win32-3.10.6-bin.zip

 On Win98 PC, this VM shows Windows dialog
"Image file read problem (0 out of 4 byte read)"
and abort image loading.

 On WinXP, same VM/image works great (as usual).

 Squeak.exe  1,053KB 2004-09-23 runs stable on Win98.
But it consumes 50% CPU even idling.

 I plan to use Squeak as controller for automated tasks.
So constantly consumes 50% CPU VM is not attractive. :-)

 I'm looking for more CPU gentle VM for Win98 and/or tips.


 Thanks ( in advance ).

Win 95/98 support has been dropped when adding full Unicode support to
the 3.10.x series of VMs (the need to compile with MS' compatibility
layer for unicode ticked me over it ;-) You can try using the 3.7.1 VM
which is very stable and should work well under Win 95/98:
