process, you'll be able to see how easy it is to create, re-use, and
re-purpose component-driven applications with PEAK.
'''Lesson Prerequisites'''
= Lesson Prerequisites =
The examples in the lessons below have been tested
against the latest CVS version of PEAK 0.5 alpha 3.
write up your question on the PEAK mailing list, and we'll try to
get the examples updated with more Windows-specific command lines.
'''The Lessons'''
Non-BSD Unix users: The `#!` lines in this tutorial are written
for BSD-like Unixes that treat `#!` lines as having space-separated
arguments. On other unixes, you will need to rewrite the `#!` lines
to use the `invoke` program included with PEAK. Build and install
the `invoke` program according to the instructions in PEAK's
`INSTALL.txt` file, and make note of its path. You will need to change
`#!` lines that look like: {{{
#!/usr/bin/env peak runIni
}}} to read: {{{
#!/usr/local/bin/invoke peak runIni
}}} instead. (Substituting the correct path to `invoke`, of course.)
`invoke` doesn't support setting the environment like `env` does, so
you'll need to use something like: {{{
`#!/usr/local/bin/invoke env WHATEVER=whatever peak whatever`
}}}
if a `#!` line needs to set something in the environment.
Unfortunately, some operating systems have extremely limited lengths
for `#!` lines, and you may have to create a shell script and invoke it
via `#!invoke` in order to get all of the arguments you need. For
more on this, see [http://peak.telecommunity.com/doc/INSTALL.txt.html PEAK's INSTALL.txt],
under "Scripts, Batch Files, and `#!`".

(Also, this tutorial doesn't cover how to make your command objects support options like `--help`; for that, you can check out `options.txt` in the `peak.running` package, or have a look at the OptionsHowTo, which is the same thing but in HTML.)
So have fun with PEAK, and I'll see you at the top!
