You're probably better off using Andreas's VM than mine for general use.
I maintain that VM purely to provide a Windows VM with Exupery support
and closures support. All my Squeak work is on Linux. I released that VM
before Andreas released his closure VM. I'll keep maintaining it because
it's needed for Exupery but it's unlikely to receive the same amount of
care as Andreas's.

The benefits of my VM are it uses the same exact version of VMMaker as
my Unix VM and it can run Exupery.
