1AppWrapper 0.1 06/20/2002
2
3Background:
4AppWrapper is a little GNUstep application I wrote to play around with GNUstep
5in order to help myself learn the GNUstep development system and a little bit
6of a couple of frameworks.
7
8I also wanted a quick way to create application wrappers for non GNUstep
9applications.  So I could find GWorkspace more usefull in my envrionment.
10
11Functionality:
12Current AppWrapper does not do much and it does not do it as easily as I am
13sure it could.
14
15There is no warranty implied or expressed.
16
17If this program happens to cause the loss of your data or screws something up
18I will not be held responsible.
19
20Please send me any bug reports so that I can try to fix the problem.
21
22Please feel free to send me any suggestions too.  As I said, I wrote this
23program because of the need to learn and because it was a simple requirement of
24my own.

26TODO:
27See the accompanying TODO file.

29Additional Information:
30You must move or copy the app directory that AppWrapper creates to a GNUstep
31Applications directory so that the new application is set along side other
32GNUstep applications.  AppWrapper names the temporary directory that it creates
33using the application name you give it along with an extension of app.  For
34example.  If I specified the application name as Mozilla, AppWrapper would
35create a directory named Mozilla.app.  I would then need to cp this directory
36and its contents, including subdirectories, to a place like
37$GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT/Applications.  I could use the command cp -r ./Mozilla.app
38$GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT/Applications/.  You may have to run this command as root.
39
40If you run AppWrapper from GWorkspace it will create the temporary App directory
41in $HOME/.  At least that is what it does when I run AppWrapper this way.
