[TR] - Starkits are fun! This is a piece of code to explore the possiblilites of a writeable Starkit.
It all ended in a quite usable program. It is the logical continuation of the script on [Writing to Your Starkit]. Thanks to [jcw] and all Tcl folks, this could be assembled in an afternoon! It uses a [Tablelist] widget for nicer listing and some more features than the prototype on the Wiki.

I called it TarKit because it is like 'tar'. But TarKit could also stand for Tcl ARchive KIT ...

Get the program as a starkit here: [http://tcl.typoscriptics.de/tarkit/TarKit.kit] (A README is here [http://tcl.typoscriptics.de/tarkit/README])

The program is like the unix utility 'tar'. It is a container into which you
can add files. The files are copied into the Starkit and stay there togehter
with the program code itself. So what you have is a form of a self-extracting
and self-containing archive that is platform independant using [Tclkit]! It's all
in one file.

Did I mention that it is cross-platform? But you already knew that ...


But there is one important question: Removing a file from the archive won't let the Starkit shrink in size.
''How can that be achieved??''

[Brian Theado] - Try 'sdx mkpack' which is available in the newest versions of sdx (see http://www.equi4.com/pub/sk/sdx.kit/ChangeLog)
