Now traditionally the VM has been backward compatible with old Images, but Pharo doesn't necessarily adhere to that and policy IIUC is release specific VM/Image pairs. So does Pharo require extra magic numbers to co-ordinate this? And how would this interact with OpenSmalltalk policy on these magic numbers?
I would really like a copy of the script that checks the magic number and starts the right VM. David, could you share yours please?
