Eliot, Thx for the pointer.
No, there is no such file in the vm folder that is launching the Pharo Launcher nor is there one in the vms folders that are downloaded to run the various images started by the launcher. This manifest file is new to me. Where is it to be found and what does it do for Pharo?
