Subject: using ATK to make a subroutine library

Greetings from Pasta-Land!

How (easily) can Andrew code be used outside of the ATK dynamic
loading environment?  A couple of questions may clear up my query:

1) can I create a single executable that can be run with an absolute
minimum of accompanying files, etc., so that I can have other isolated
people run my application without loading Andrew?  My current line of
thinking is to modify runapp to statically load all my applications
classes, and to link all my .o's together with runapp.  How does this
sound?

2) can I access Andrew classes from non-Andrew C-code?  I assume it's
possible since the class function produces normal C code, but I fear there's
some stumbling block somewhere.  Has anyone done anything similar?

If you have any help/advice/pointers, etc., I would be forever grateful.
(If you respond, please see the email special request below.) 

Thanks!
