Esther had a similar problem running etoys on ubuntu 6.10, which probably 
doesn't use utf8 as locale.

Is the vm-option "-encoding utf-8" the reason?

On ubuntu 8.04 everything is fine, only npsqueakregister seems to be 
missing in the .deb

Naming Environment-Variables in etoys.sh

Hallo Michael,

I'm just trying to set up Etoys on our Linux-computers at school. There I 
need to change the value of $SQUEAK_USERDIR. The easiest way in this case 
would be /etc/environment. I understand that the environment-variable used 
by the squeak-vm has to have the name SQUEAK_USERDIR, hasn't it? But we're 
using 'real' Squeak as well and I'd love to have different USERDIRs for 
these different images. Hence I'd like to have different 
environment-variables.

Right now, etoys.sh looks like

----8X--------------------------------------------------------------
[ -z "$SQUEAK_SECUREDIR" ] && export SQUEAK_SECUREDIR="$HOME/.etoys"
[ -z "$SQUEAK_USERDIR" ] && export SQUEAK_USERDIR="$HOME/Etoys"
---------------------------------------------------------X8---------

I'd prefer Etoys to use ETOYS_SECUREDIR and ETOYS_USERDIR (since it's 
Etoys, not Squeak :) ). etoys.sh could look like

----8X---------------------------------------------------------------
if [ -z "$ETOYS_SECUREDIR" ]
then
     export SQUEAK_SECUREDIR="$HOME/.etoys"
else
     export SQUEAK_SECUREDIR="$ETOYS_SECUREDIR"
fi
if [ -z "$ETOYS_USERDIR" ]
then
     export SQUEAK_USERDIR="$HOME/Etoys"

You could also create launcher scripts (*.desktop files aka link to 
application) and use the following command:

SQUEAK_USERDIR=myowndir SQUEAK_IMAGE=myimagefile squeak ..

Thanks Subbu, that's a possibility I hadn't thought of.

Yes we have seen this too. But as far as we can tell, this is not  
generated by the list server but by some subscriber's "gateway" and  
sent to the poster directly. We have not figured out yet who is
