Hello all!
  I think that my question will have a trivial answer in Khoros 2.0, but
in the meantime, I would like to know if the following scenario is 
feasible in Khoros 1.5.
  I want to develop an X application using the tools available in
Khoros currently, in other words I want to write an xvroutine, and after 
going through all the steps of writing the user interface and installing 
the new code I would like to give my user only the minimum necessary so 
that they can execute the application. They don't even need to run it 
from Cantata. (I need to do this because they don't have enough space for 
all Khoros.)
  Is it correct to assume that I will only need to give them the
following? the application, the libraries xvforms and xvgraphics, a few other 
vroutines (or hybrid) that I might need, for example putimage. 
  Am I missing something? For instance it's not clear to me what
else is needed for the manual pages and the documentation of the 
vroutines that do not belong to my application. How much space would be 
needed in this scenario? (i.e how big is the Khoros portion that I
need for doing this?)
 
  On a very related note, the way to define a GUI is: use an editor
to add the appropriate lines in the .form UIS file, test each pane
with preview, and then test the complete interface after following the 
steps specified in the conductor manual. In other words there is no
other tool similar to composer that will generate the UIS lines for
the .form file, right?

Thanks in advance for your answers,
Soraya Abad-Mota.
