Purpose: consolidate discussions about differences between a site where [Tcl]/[Tk]/[Tclvfs]/[metakit]/[incr tcl]/zlib are installed and a site where only [tclkit] is available. What things can someone expect to find different when using Tclkit rather than a full install from authority source distributions? 1. Documentation - tclkit comes with none of the man pages/etc. There is a [Tclkit DOK commands] [starkit] containing the Tcl and Tk docs, but I don't think that currently there is one containing docs for everything that comes in the tclkit. 1. Demos - tclkit is intended to be small. However, the demos for Tk are available from the [sdarchive]. 1. Encodings - only a minimal number of encodings are available 1. Libraries - tclkit is a static build, so no tclXX.dll or .so's or other libraries for linking are there 1. Includes - tclkit does not install tcl.h or other header files 1. Files within a Tclkit or starkit are accessed only via [VFS]. There are limitatiosn and differences in file and directory behavior through VFS that are not present when using native file handling. ---- [Category Tclkit]
