AppWrapper 0.1 06/20/2002

Background:
AppWrapper is a little GNUstep application I wrote to play around with GNUstep
in order to help myself learn the GNUstep development system and a little bit
of a couple of frameworks.

I also wanted a quick way to create application wrappers for non GNUstep
applications.  So I could find GWorkspace more usefull in my envrionment.

Functionality:
Current AppWrapper does not do much and it does not do it as easily as I am
sure it could.

There is no warranty implied or expressed.

If this program happens to cause the loss of your data or screws something up
I will not be held responsible.

Please send me any bug reports so that I can try to fix the problem.

Please feel free to send me any suggestions too.  As I said, I wrote this
program because of the need to learn and because it was a simple requirement of
my own.

TODO:
See the accompanying TODO file.

Additional Information:
You must move or copy the app directory that AppWrapper creates to a GNUstep
Applications directory so that the new application is set along side other
GNUstep applications.  AppWrapper names the temporary directory that it creates
using the application name you give it along with an extension of app.  For
example.  If I specified the application name as Mozilla, AppWrapper would
create a directory named Mozilla.app.  I would then need to cp this directory
and its contents, including subdirectories, to a place like
$GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT/Applications.  I could use the command cp -r ./Mozilla.app
$GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT/Applications/.  You may have to run this command as root.

If you run AppWrapper from GWorkspace it will create the temporary App directory
in $HOME/.  At least that is what it does when I run AppWrapper this way.
