[squeak-dev] mac carbon VM Squeak 3.8.20beta1U.app ships for testing.

johnmci
I've stuck a Squeak 3.8.20beta1U.app.zip file in my EXPERIMENTAL  
folder found via

http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html

This test VM contains the latest 32/64 bit integer fetch/set logic &  
fixes, Alien support and the Alien (IA32ABI) plugin,
along with misc fixes to the VM consolidated by Tim and integrated  
into VMMaker by David  T. Lewis in the last few months.

If you want to explore Alien then you need this VM and it's plugin to  
continue.

Hint if someone would like to run some benchmarks and compare Alien  
versus FFI calls that would be good.

I note the Alien plugin is macintel only, no powerpc at this time (got  
funding?)

Does the mac vm include the FileCopyPlugin ?

Rio's File/Directory does seek to take advantage of it but I havent
tested it yet.
