Thanks a lot. This was just what I needed. I need to distribute a cross platform utility including a small webserver, so node was an obvious choice. My only problem was that the users are mostly non-techs, so I didn't like the thought of them having to install node and all the dependencies. pkg works out of the box. I don't even need to create the package.json file and module exports and whatnot. I simply enter "pkg myutil.js" - done! A second after I have three executables, one for Linux, Windows and Mac.
