http://mini.net/sdarchive/ is a location where
sample [starkit]s dependant on [tclkit] are located.
These samples demonstrate making documentation available in a
single file that would be usable cross platform.

These "doks" rely on [Tkhtml], for which builds have been included inside the scripted document.  This handles Windows, Linux, and Solaris for now.

If people want Tclkit to run on other platforms - say like MacOS or PalmOS,
etc. then they are going to have to give up and actual start working on
contributing time, talent, resources, energy, etc. to getting it done.

What would it take to get it running on PalmOs?  [PalmTcl] is based on tcl 7.6.
Having a Tclkit for the [Palm] would allow easy bundling of applications, which
is something I want to try. -- David S. Cargo (dcargo@marix.com)

01oct02 [jcw] - Tcl on Palm is *hard* (I've been wanting it since I have my Palm V!).  Too small, too much stack limitation, too weird memory aspects, and more work to port Tk (assuming that too is needed).  Mac Cody demo'd Toucan, but it's quite remote from having a full Tcl on the palm.  Not to mention 8.4's VFS.

Can it be done?  Probably - the previous tclkit design used an almost 100% pure tcl way to implement VFS, and there's "readkit" a read-only decoder for metakit datafiles, i.e. what underlies starkits.

But to be honest, I think it is not going to pay off - better focus on an ARM-type thing with plenty of mem (WinCE, ouch, or Zaurus etc).  MetaKit has been ported to WinCE, so all the pieces are probably there by now to fully support starkits and starpacks on that platform.  Apart from putting it all together and making sure things really work as advertised...
