Spent some time today creating some simple howto-tutorials on creating standalone Tcl/Gnocl applications using freewrap. The process is almost deceptively simple. When I originally wrote Jiumoluo on Tcl/tk on windows I decided to try Starpack, because it was the ‘flavour of the day’, Freewrap, we were told was going out of style.

Here's the working test script to show the range of options at work. The percentage substitution string item %e explores something that I've been toying with, the name of the signal/event that initiated the call. Ok, a script can keep its own internal trace but who knows, it might prove useful. #--------------- # calendarTest.tcl #--------------- # Author: William J Giddings # Date: 07/05/09 #--------------- #!/bin/sh # the next line restarts using tclsh \ exec tclsh "$0" "$@" #--------------- package require Gnocl set cal [gnocl::calendar] $cal configure -day 8 -month 7 -year 1956 $cal configure -rowHeight 1 -colWidth 1 $ca...
