Purpose: gathering place of ideas, pointers, concepts, and wishlists on the topic of creating CD-ROMs from which one can run Tcl/Tk scripts directly ---- What are the challenges? * Cross Platform issues 1. Attempt, as much as possible, to seperate your application and data into platform specific and generic, gaining the most reuse as possible. 1. Determine the hardware and software platforms for which binaries will be needed. This will determine how many binary Tcl interpreters you will need. Consider [TclKit] as a baseline for the interpreter. 1. Determine the file naming restrictions / conventions that need to be imposed so that the applications can all access the generic data. 1. Determine the CD-ROM file format standard to use so that all platforms can access the appropriate programs and executables. 1. Determine whether you are going to provide support for the user to '''install''' the software and/or data on one or more local disks. ... add in other issues as they occur to people...
