Hi all
I would like to know if Squeak works on the new machines from apple based on intel.

but your Subject line said VisualWorks. ;)
I don't know if it does, but when my laptop comes, I will give a short experience report if you would like.

Ah, just in time to lend or give said MacBook to me so I can confirm if it works or not....
However I will note that a number of things need to happen for the Carbon VM to be converted. I don't know if it runs under Rosetta on the machine, no-one has yet said.
a) Getting a mac intel machine to test on. b) Time on my side to do the work. d) Coding up a MacIntel FFI assembler interface. e) Cross checking endian issues f) Recompiling a bunch of standalone plugins (aka MP3)
Likely at the same time we'll switch to unix file names with HFS+ alias support and enable the ability to load unix libraries versus plugins.
I believe for the unix version
a) Rewrite of the screen display update logic to handle byte swapping (likely) b) The FFI interface c) Recompiling a bunch of standalone plugins (aka MP3)

Thanks. I wanted to know if it was for me to switch to that kind of machines for both Squeak and VW :)
