When using Iceberg to save Smalltalk in this format it is customary to follow the convention of saving Tonel source in a in immediate project sub directory called src. To cause Iceberg to use Tonel format you must additionaly create a file called .properties in this directory containing the following directive:

{
	#format : #tonel
}
