In a supersymmetry scenario with a mass hierarchy m/sub g/roughly-equalm/sub q/>m/sub omega-tilde/>m/sub l/ , gluino-scalar quark pair production followed by the decay chain g..-->..q q-bar(qq), q..-->..omega-tildeq, omega-tilde..-->..mu-tilde..nu..(..mu..nu-tilde), mu-tilde..--> mu..gamma-tilde leads to like-sign and unlike-sign dimuons with comparable rates and possibly little accompanying hadronic activity; such events will often contain strange particles. Predictions are made for the dimuon distributions. The possible relevance to dimuon observations by Arnison et al. is addressed.
