Re: Scratch questions

Ralph, how do you shrink an  image? I have never done it  maybe that's
why Squeak is so slow to launch (2 Ghz dual core  w/ 2 GB RAM it
should launch faster)

I searched the wiki and see methods like majorShrink, condenseChanges,
majorShink, etc. This sounds like some dark arts?

Thanks, Alex
