For those who've never used Tcl/tk, it is a language that does things in much the same way as php-gtk, in that a binary file parses a text file script. In fact, by itself, Tcl is text-only, much like php. But with the Tk (toolkit) extension, it is able to produce graphical programs from a script. It is because of my experience with Tcl/Tk that I am so excited about php-gtk. The wrapper programs I've used simply concatenate the Tcl/Tk script to the end of an interpreter to produce just one executable file. The smallest wrapper I've used produced a 600K file, which was small enough for my purposes. This seems like what we need here. I don't really know why the same principles wouldn't work. For an example, see http://home.nycap.rr.com/dlabelle/freewrap/freewrap.html . The source code for this program is available at this link as well. Anyone know any reason why this wouldn't work?
