This page has been superceeded by Simulating the Interpreter
An interpreter is a computer program whose job is to run other computer programs. Squeak includes an interpreter for itself written in Slang.
To run Squeak's interpreter inside itself, type the following:
(InterpreterSimulator new openOn: 'imageFileName') test
where 'imageFileName' is the name of a file holding the snapshot you want to run in the interpreter.
