Dear Oliver,
indeed, you have to install Oz first before you can run an Oz program
(similar to various other languages, e.g., Java).
Also, you can run Oz programs as separate processes which talk to
other processes via sockets. Sockets are documented in the open
programming tutorial
http://www.mozart-oz.org/documentation/op/node10.html
and the reference
http://www.mozart-oz.org/documentation/system/node54.html

Dear all,
I'm hoping to use Oz as the engine for a GUI program on Apple's OS
X, with a native Cocoa front-end. I'm having a bit of trouble
trying to work out the canonical way of doing such a thing. I'm
assuming I can launch Oz as a separate process and communicate with
the Oz runtime via sockets.
Deployment is also something I'm not clear on. It seems that the
entire oz development system has to be installed before a user can
run oz scripts, and that the '--executable' options only remove the
need to launch scripts via the ozengine explicitly. So when I try
to run a script compiled and linked with the -x option on another
machine without Mozart/Oz installed I receive the error "line 2:
exec: ozengine: not found".
Is it possible to generate a standalone executable from an Oz
script? What's the standard means of distributing oz scripts to
users who need the functionality but not the ability to develop
those scripts?
Thanks,
Oliver.
