'''starkit meet zip file'''
This is just another '''wow''' feature. There are gems just waiting to be picked up in starkits, and here is one that I found while reading "./lib/vfs/zipvfs.tcl" You can do that by [inspecting your new starkit].
Now I don't know what this feature is for exactly, but I do know how it can be used:
======
package require zipvfs
set f [vfs::zip::Mount myzip.zip myzip.zip]
======[MHo] 2020-11-25: should it be
======
package require vfs::zip
======
?
Now you can go into the myzip.zip directory (that is all emulated via [tclvfs] beautifully) and you can do all the regular things on files.
[[ [Vince] adds this feature is there so that a starkit can access all currently supported vfs types, these include ftp, http, webdav and zip --- if you do run into problems with these (bugs definitely remain) please do diagnose and provide patches to fix them --- it's all pure Tcl code]]
Wow your friends by unzipping without a zip program:
======
file copy myzip.zip unzip
======
My computer grinds for a bit then lookee lookee, I've uncompressed the zip file to an unzip/ dir.
Then unmount the file with:
======
vfs::zip::Unmount $f myzip.zip
======
And for the terminally curious:
======
# Used to execute a zip archive. This is rather like a jar file
# but simpler. We simply mount it and then source a toplevel
# file called 'main.tcl'.
proc vfs::zip::Execute {zipfile} {
etc...
