Hi Eliot. So, do we need to change something from image side?

Hopefully not. �But you might try testing launching from the command line and accessing image arguments and vm arguments. �Hopefully "Smalltalk image arguments" and "Smalltalk vm arguments" answer the right things (and different things).�

To help in your testing I'm attaching the script I use to launch from the command line on Mac OS. �I should include this in the Cog VM distribution but it isn't part of the .app bundle. �I put it in ~/bin and edit it to point at the .app bundle I want. �Note that this script can be linked with different names to launch different VMs (i.e. I cal it all of ocsfvm oscavm oscdvm oscfmtvm et al to launch the production, assert, debug and multi-threaded etc VMs).

Apologies.

we will have to check if this impacts some of our parameter handling.

Replace win32 command line parsing with unixesque code using CommandLineToArgvW.

linux launch script:
Cope with old linuxes use of /lib/tls hack for an optional thread-local-storage
version of libc/libpthread. The launch scripts add /lib/tls:/usr/lib/tls: to

LD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of /lib:/usr/lib: if the VM is linked to /lib/tls/libc.
