Does Apple Script serve this purpose.
The flag wich attempts to run an archive as an application is its "file
type": "APPL". And you can save a compiled script as stand-alone
application. Simply type "beep" in a script editor window and "save as"
application.
________
Also, "you" can execute some other "file types", such as "appe", wich is a
background application, "cdev", wich is a control panel... You can run a
compiled script in a big variety of contexts: as stand-alone app, from a
script menu (the code wich runs the script is implemented within the app
itself), from a Real Basic app, an Hypercard/HyperStudio app or a FaceSpan
one. Basically, you need some code to communicate with AppleScript
extension, wich will run your compiled script.
