[MACTCL] Starting a Tcl app on MacOS X

[Dorothy R. <mo...@ar...>]

Whee!  Tkcvs works (with minor cosmetic issues) with the latest MacOS X version 
of tcl/tk, once I hard-coded the path to the Wish Shell into it.  Tkcvs goes to 
a lot of trouble to ask the system about font sizes and such so that it will 
look native whether it wakes up and finds itself running under CDE, some funny 
Windows theme, or whatever, and that seems to be paying off now (pats self on 
back.)  TkDiff isn't quite as lucky and has definite problems.

What mechanism should be used to start TK applications?  I tried telling
the .tcl suffix to invoke Wish Shell (you never know until you try), and it 
dutifully started Wish but then Wish didn't run tkcvs.  I'm sadly ignorant about 
Macintosh, being an old unix person, so the whole double-click thing is kind of 
a mystery to me.  Should I be making one of those .app packages myself? How 
would it know where to find wish?

Thanks for getting Aqua TK running.  I'm much happier about having an additional 
platform to support than I should be :-)
