Lukas,

I did as instructed above (after taking a bit of time to learn how to 
use Squeak a bit).. I used
your Magritte-VisualWorks-lr.7.mcz since it was the latest version on 
your above listed site.
I evaluated "MADistribution fileOutForVisualWorks" and it spit out the 
following files :

-rw-rw-r--  1 rickf users   256576 Jun  1 14:29 Magritte-Model-vw5.st
-rw-rw-r--  1 rickf users   166154 Jun  1 14:29 Magritte-Seaside-vw5.st
-rw-rw-r--  1 rickf users   162601 Jun  1 14:29 Magritte-Tests-vw5.st

I didn't know what order to load them into VW7.4 so I loaded the biggest 
first (Magritte-Model)
and it loaded without even a single complaint.  I then proceeded to load 
the "Magritte-Seaside"
file and then the last "Tests" file -- all without any complaints.  Now 
however, I'm not sure
what I can do to test this thing out.. Any ideas?  I've saved my image 
so I can screw it up if
needed without harming any of my other work..
