Done. Please download the new VM and tell me what you think about the
new README file (written mostly by Lawrence Trutter):

Excellent! I would change 2 little things:

"This directory contains a pre-built Pharo Virtual Machine (VM). So it
should not be necessary to build your own VM in order to use this
software."

This is not ALWAYS true. Many people with 64bits or a different architecture (like the other day with alpah) has to compile the VM to make it work. So what I would do is to clarify where (hardware) this VM must work

The other little thing I would add (yes, it is obvious) is a first step when you explain to run from command line, that explains how to unzip the zip and to be clear that the "squeak" file is the one that it is where you unzip the zip.


Thanks!!!
