[Zipguy] - 2014/6/6 In case you are not familiar with SDX, I also have a page about [http://wiki.tcl.tk/29317%|%ezsdx - a small frontend for sdx%|%] (which I've renamed to EasySDX) a page on my site all about http://www.geocities.ws/thezipguy/mytcldesktop/MyTCLDesktop.html%|%SDX%|% (and ML). Even further, if you don't understand how to use SDX then you should read this excellent http://equi4.com/papers/skpaper1.htmll%|%site%|%, (or in http://www.digital-smarties.com/Tcl2002/tclkit.pdf%|%pdf%|% form) ---- An excerpt of my new http://www.geocities.ws/thezipguy/freeware/SDX_more.html%|%page%|% I've added to my site: "from chat 6/4/2014 20:37:03 AM ====== [20:37] zipguy I've got a question. Is there any way, in Tkchat to modify the 'Google selection' right-click option (on Windoze)? [20:38] * zipguy not to 'Bing'! [20:42] zipguy Or is there anyway to change the menu that pops-up, and add command to it? [20:42] zipguy er, commands [21:13] kbk Of course there is. You have the source code.. [21:17] zipguy kbk All I have is tkchat.exe, not the source code, so I don't [21:17] kbk It's a starpack. Unwrap it [21:18] zipguy Ok I'll give it a try. Thanks kbk ====== From the sdx page at http://wiki.tcl.tk/3411 "sdx unwrap yourstarkit Extract the contents of a starkit into a file system. Creates a directory with the name [file root starkit].vfs The directory must not already exist." It does not make any mention of 'unwrap'ing a foobar.exe, of the type, starpack. So I did search http://wiki.tcl.tk, looking for 'unwrap' and did not find any mention, that you can unwrap a starpack! It did take me a while to do that. That got me into another couple of problems. * A few people may not aware of what SDX can do, unwrap a starpack. Yes * Was it designed to do this? or was it unintentional? Yes & No * Is it a secret that what SDX can do? * Would anyone get mad at me, if I bring this up, on wiki.tcl.tk, and let a few people know what SDX is capable of? Nope. Great for me! * Should I add these features to EasySDX, and make it easy for everyone to use them? Yes. Sounds good to me! Some of them are unanswered... but most are solved!" There's a lot more there for SDX lovers. ---- [RLE] (2014-06-06): Re. your first point above, if you run sdx with the "help" option, it will print out a list of commands and a short description of each. So "not being aware" is as much "not bothering to ask" as anything else. Re. unwrapping a starpack, that file is just a starkit attached to an executable in a single file. So it should have been fairly obvious that if you can unwrap a kit, and a starpack == exe+kit, that you can unwrap an pack. Additionally, the sdx help has this as one of the line items: mksplit Split starkit/starpack into head and tail files Which if you test it, splits a pack into an exe and a kit. And so, using "mksplit" and then following with "unwrap" of the tail should have been reasonably obvious as well. Was sdx designed to unwrap a pack, yes. Given what a pack is, it was designed to unwrap it, because it's just a kit in disguise. [Zipguy] - 2014/6/6 Good Points. Mea culpa (my fault). Sorry [RLE} I made the changes you recommended, above. Part of my problem, is that on Windows 7, SDX is a real pain to run. That's why I created EasySDX, and have been using it happily for a couple of years. So I haven't run SDX alone for years, too. Also, it does print out a rather lengthy list of commands, of which only one mentions starpack, namely mksplit, only when you run SDX directly, for help, which I haven't, for years. It's interesting that I got no comments about searching for 'unwrap' on wiki.tcl.tk, which I did do, and looked at all the pages that came up, in response to my search, for the 'unwrap' a starpack. I might have missed a few, like [sdx], but came up empty. Some things about SDX, are hard for me to understand. I must be thick about SDX, so, it was not obvious to me. I love what SDX does, it is terrific. But it is a little hard for someone like me, to understand how it does, what it does. One look at how many pages are out there, about creating a starkit, or starpack, or questions about SDX, makes it obvious to me, that I'm not alone, in this regard. As far as the mksplit, I'll look into that. <>Windows | sdx | Tclkit
