I believe the tool is called 'makeself', but I don't like the bash part in the front, I would prefer a 100% binary, so nobody would be tempted to try and edit it with a text editor. 100% binary would help the idea of simply double clicking on the executable to install the app - otherwise Gnome (and probably other DE and WM too) would prompt the user first: "Run in Terminal, Edit, Cancel" because they think it's a standard script. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
