A tool for wrapping, i.e. rapid and easy deployment of an application and its supporting packages and files.It is part of ActiveState's Tcl Dev Kit (doc [1]) and the sucessor of the older prowrap.In contrast to that tool, which uses a limited ad-hoc variant of a virtual filesystem specifically written for it, TclApp is based on the complete and generic virtual filesystem of Tcl 8.4. It generates metakit-based starkits and starpacks.Beyond that TclApp is capable of directly wrapping packages without the user being forced to specify all files in the package during wrapping. This is handled through package definition files which contain all the necessary information.A companion tool, the TclApp Package Editor can be used to create and edit such files.See http://www.ActiveState.com/Webcasts/Tcl_Dev_Kit/recordings for information from a webcast relating to the application. Comparison to sdx
HaO 2011-06-09 tclapp standard behaviour is different to sdx. For most differences, there are options to gain compatibility. This is for migration purpose, the different behaviour is senseful.
