Whilst fiddling about with packaging-up an NFS package, I thought it would be handy to make something *simple* to make my life easier...
Thus, last night, I built the attached DotPup. It's a DotPup that yo uinstall to create DotPups from file listings.
Nothing fancy, no (significant) error checking, and no windows/pretty shells... but it works.
When you click on the file in Rox, it installs itself (into /root/my-applications/mkPup) and opens a window with the instructions on how to create a DotPup.
Hopefully, it's basic enough for people to easily get into distributing their applications, data files, etc via DotPups.
Let's know if you have any thoughts on this .pup ...but I'll leave the 'real' development of how to build DotPups to GuestToo, xanatos, etc

tutorial is straightforward. It takes awhile to get it if you are a small brained cructacean like me. Most find it easy. Hopefully xanatos will be developing a visual version and this script looks well formed - look forward to new dotpups using it . . .
