What about using another script language like TCL that can be made into a single file executable? The dependency seems to be "no external reference" and not "no perl" -- isn't it possible to compile a perl prog into an executable? > Essentially, we will have TeX and Texutil and bits of Texexec > in a single executable, completely without disk-based > versions of the tui and tuo file. Will this be available for the public? From time to time the question aroses on this list to get a ConTeXt environment without installing a full TeX distribution -- maybe you will have the answer to this :-) Uwe -- voiceINTERconnect www.voiceinterconnect.de ... smart speech applications from germany
