  	A.  Install change sets from the specialChangeSets Folder. 
! 		These are required to build a VM that has globals as a structure which improves
! 		performance by 10% or more. There has been some discussion that the line endings 
  		might be wrong for the following change sets that might depend on what CVS thinks, 
  		so do a "remove linefeeds" first. 
  		
- 		MoreInterpAccessors-JMM.2.cs
- 		VMGlobalsChanges.5.cs
  		CGeneratorEnhancements-ajh.1.cs
  		Gnuifier.4.cs

  		CGeneratorEnhancements-ajh.1.cs
+ 			- For some versions of GCC, and most 68K compilers this changeset helps them 
+ 			better localize variables in the interpreter() loop. Before the change there are 
+ 			about 16 temporary variables and most compilers give up do poor register colorization. 
+ 			This changeset gives unique individual names to the temp vars and the compiler is happy.
  		Gnuifier.4.cs
+ 			- A smalltalk version of the AWK example.

+ Browser plugin 
+ 
+ It's now possible to build a browser plugin without much work. To do this just 
+ pick the NPSqueak target, and in the Targets tab pick either Safari or IE as the 
+ targeted browser. Remember to copy the newly compiled NPSqueak.bundle to the Internet Plug-ins Folder
+ so you debug the right bundle.
+ 
+ See the following for information on the older harder way, which you can now ignore.
