Drag the .image file from the OneOfTheseDays.zip file, and drop it into the executable application file from the Squeak 3.7beta1. From there, you should be able to follow the same directions for installation. The .image file is binary identical for all platforms, only the executable VM needs to be tailored for the platform.

But what is it? A complete OS with development environment and several applications like Movieplayer, Browser etc.? ;)) I just don´t know where to find Swiki now, and it will take me several weeks to get through the huge functionality of Squeak, but it looks great. Funny thing.
