Hi,
it is easy to make an .app out of any /usr/bin programm using a one
line shell script that just passes command line arguments. But how
do I do it without? Really shouldn't be necessary.
If you want to put a GUI front end on a unix tool or an app of
your own, you can use Pashua and CocoaDialog running inside
Platypus. (Handles drag & drop, too.) It's really easy after
you've done it once. Another utility that can be useful for
handling the output is PipeAlert.
