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 [http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Reference/Products/Tcl_Dev_Kit/TclApp.html]) 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 [starkit]s and [starpack]s. 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. ---- !!!!!! %| [Category Application] | [Category Deployment] |% !!!!!!
