Can I convert my good old image(3.8 based MVC) so that I can use with newer VM like Cog?
Thanks in advance.

It's certainly possible but you may find it quite painful. The original bootstrap is at http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/Closures0811/Bootstrap/. The problem with this code is that it is missing over two years of bug fixes and improvements. So even if you were to apply this to your image you'd find you had something that needed a lot of work to bring to a correct state.
I suspect you will be /much/ better off trying to extract your code from the 3.8 image and load it into a trunk Squeak in MVC mode. It's likely that some people in the community will be eager to help you make sure that the MVC support is functional.

Thanks in advance.
Ah, thank you. If remaining on MVC is more painful than using light weight images like Cuis, then I'd rather move on it. ;-)

Excellent solution. Go Cuis!
