I've created an application in Tcl/Tk, starpacked it and it runs just
fine -it loads and saves data without any problems. Now, what extra work
do I need to do to allow Win2000 to associate the application and its
data extensions so that clicking on the data icon will launch my tcl/tk
app and load the data.

Ta ever so,

This requires changing setting in the registry...

See:
http://wiki.tcl.tk/1074

However, a simple way to automate this may be to build a windows
installer...

I have used inno setup and found it good and easy to use.

Installjammer looks interesting, however I have not used it.
(But I will be trying it out at some point)
