# tclets.tcl -- # # Drag & Drop Tclets # by Ray Johnson # # A simple way to create Tcl applications. This applications will copy a droped Tcl file # into a copy of a stub application (the user can pick). The file is placed into the # TEXT resource named "tclshrc" which is automatically executed on startup. # # RCS: @(#) $Id: tclets.tcl,v 1.2 1998/09/14 18:23:33 stanton Exp $ # # Copyright (c) 1997 Sun Microsystems, Inc. # # See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution # of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. # # tkOpenDocument -- # # This procedure is a called whenever Wish recieves an "Open" event.
