How is this made to work under MacOS X? I'd like to blog about my Mac from, well, my Mac. I've got BF downloaded and unzipped. There's a readme in there about un-bin'ing the executable, but that doesn't make sense, because the executable is there. But both VM and Image are just simple documents. I have no idea how one turns the vm into an real application.
So when you can't figure your Mac out... Terminal to the rescue! In this case it was only partially helpful. cd'ing to the right directory, I entered the classical bottomFeeder bottomFeeder.im. Up it popped. It looked really nice. What's this about VW being slow under OS X? I moused around and tried different things. Then....
I tried to type. No keyboard input would go to Smalltalk. It all just came back out on the shell stdout. That was weird. BottomFeeder remains unusable.
