...if you wanted to run a Smalltalk-80 image, i guess the answer would
be yes. �do you have one?

for ideas you could also look at Ian Piumarta's Cola work [1], which
has a st-80 class library [2] and an example VM [3]. �I haven't looked
at it for a while, but you see in the svn view a familiar looking
mini.image.
