Subject: ANNOUNCE: freeWrap version 4.0 - DN [1]

"Dennis LaBelle" <dlabelle@albany.net> - 06 Dec 1999 - comp.lang.tcl

 This message announces the release of freeWrap version 4.0

 The freeWrap program turns TCL/TK scripts into single-file binary executable
 programs. freeWrap can wrap TCL/TK applications that consist of multiple
 script and binary files. freeWrap combines all the files together into a
 single executable file.

 freeWrap 4.0 is based on TCL/TK 8.2.2

 freeWrap executables are freely available for both Linux and
 Windows95/98/NT.

 Instructions and source code for building freeWrap on both Windows and UNIX
 platforms is also freely available.

 Versions of freeWrap that include the BLT extension to TCL/TK are also
 available for download.

 Changes implemented in version 4.0
 ----------------------------------

 freeWrap 4.0 is based on TCL/TK 8.2.2

 The freeWrap executable file is now much smaller. It has been compressed
 with UPX and now fits on a single floppy.

 Wrapped file paths can now include spaces.

 Wrapped binary files take less room than previous versions of freeWrap.

 Added a few features, procedure and variables to support my new application
 distribution program, freeDelivery.

 Added -p command line option to wrap application distribution packages

 Pressing the [x] on the root window under Windows95/98/NT now exits the
 program completely from memory. Several people were confused about Windows'
 default behavior which closed the root window but kept the program in
 memory. Programmer's can still intercept the WM_DELETE_WINDOW event
 themselves using the "wm protocol" command.
