Version 5 of SDX under MacOS

Updated 2003-04-15 13:46:58

Purpose: discuss how to make use of sdx under MacOS to manipulate starkits - particularly on versions before MacOS X, where I presume sdx works like other Unix-like operating systems.

I can't comment on the darwin 8.4.2 version, but have tried sdx under an earlier version of tclkit (2002-11-22) for pre-MacOSX. The sdx kit was not initially useful, but with the addition of an entry widget for command line arguments (Thanks Mr. Whippler!) and a few hacks to 'file' commands (in a personal copy) I have been able to use 'qwrap', 'wrap' and 'unwrap'. I'm using MacOS 9.x.
