I am not sure I have ever seen a wrapper defined. I just use the word! Here's my attempt: A wrapper program is a program wrapped around another program. Usually one or more of the following is true: 1. The program inside is a substantial program that does most of the work, especially heavy or dirty work. 2. The wrapper sets up the user to carry out a specific application of the program inside. 3. The wrapper may act as a kind of translator that maps concepts on the level of the application to the syntax of the program inside. 4. The wrapper is meant to be friendly or convenient to the user, e.g. to save the user reading a mass of documentation to find out which specific commands to use. Nick n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk Abhimanyu Arora Thanks a lot Martin, How do we define a "wrapper" program please?
