I have an old image I’d like to recover some code from. When I try to launch in Pharo 2 (from memory it was written in Pharo 2) I get this error: This interpreter (vers. 6505) cannot read image file (vers. 6502). It looks close :) How do I go about finding a VM that will open that image? Thanks in advance. Jupiter

Hi Jupiter, The simplest I could propose, for any user, is to try to import it in the Pharo launcher. The Pharo launcher leverages the version number and solves all this for you: It extracts the image version from the image file and based on that information it will download and launch the image with the corresponding VM. You may try the “from disk” and “import” commands: Tell us if that worked, G > El 8 nov 2021, a las 9:31, Jupiter Jones <jupiter.jones@mail.com> escribió: > > I have an old image I’d like to recover some code from. > > When I try to launch in Pharo 2 (from memory it was written in Pharo 2) I get this error: > > This interpreter (vers. 6505) cannot read image file (vers. 6502). > > It looks close :) > > How do I go about finding a VM that will open that image? > > Thanks in advance. > > Jupiter

Thanks Guillermo - that’s what that import button is for :) I gave it a go and got this message… Doesn’t look good. Would this mean the code is now lost? Or is there something else I can try?

It’s better if you can launch your image - but your .changes file should also have all your code (albeit, it’s a bit of a hunt it down affair to re-assemble it) Tim > On 8 Nov 2021, at 11:50, Jupiter Jones <jupiter.jones@mail.com> wrote: > > Thanks Guillermo - that’s what that import button is for :) > > I gave it a go and got this message… > > > > Doesn’t look good.

Thanks Tim - that’s what I’m doing now. This has taught me not to remove old repo’s :) Thanks guys for your help.

Hi Jupiter, You probably can run your old image in a web browser at http://try.squeak.org/ Just drag and drop the image, changes and source files onto the web page. HTH, Dave

Wow! That’s crazy - it just opened. Thanks Dave for the link. It was getting painful digging through changes. > On 9 Nov 2021, at 8:31 am, David T.
