Re: [MACTCL] Simple tk on Mac OS X

[Jim I. <ji...@ap...>]

This error has been discussed many times on this list already.  Search=20=

the list for SetFrontProcess to find more details.

The simplest way to make a packaged, double-clickable Wish application=20=

on Mac OS X is described in the tk/macosx/README:

- Wish checks the Resources/Scripts directory in its application bundle=20=

for a
file called AppMain.tcl, if found it is used as the startup script and=20=

the
Scripts folder is added to the auto_path. This can be used to emulate=20
the old
OS9 TclTk droplets.

Hope this helps,

Jim
