When someone starts my script on a slow pc, they get a black DOS window for
a while. This then minimises, (because of Tk, and I haven't found a way of
stopping this, yet), I then open it, and print "Loading, please wait...".
Unfortunately, on very slow machines, there is quite a long time with just
the black DOS window, and nothing telling the user that the script is
working. This has led to problems, because they assume that nothing is
happening.
I assume that the long pause is because I've used perlapp to create a
freestanding executable, and the script is loading up all the modules that
I've used.
Is there any quick way to put up something that will pacify a Stupid User
(TM)?
Thanks.
