Tclkit Lite is a new (as of Oct 2005) variant of Tclkit which is a limited edition of Tclkit.
The limits and differences are:
The steps needed to build Tclkit Lite require the latest version of "genkit", see [L1 ]. -jcw
AMG: "Limited edition"? Hehehe. Get yours today! They're moving fast! First one hundred downloads are personally autographed by JCW!! :^)

PT Until some more official source becomes standard:
MHo: What about a tclkitsh-lite? (without Tk) - it would be even smaller... (interesting, e.g., for CGI-Scripts).
US Yes! That's really a good idea. A Tclkit for Tcl and a Tkkit for Tcl/Tk. A pure Tclkit (without Tk), eventually including TclX and/or expect, would be very useful for daemons and background tasks.
See [L2 ] for sizes on Linux.
PT 31-Oct-2005: I've modified the msvc6 build files to include support for this. I'm uncertain that I've got it 100% correct so far as my tclkitlite is only 90K or so smaller that the normal tclkit. My tclkitlite84.exe for Windows is available from [L3 ] (gpg signature at [L4 ]) at least for a while. I'll produce some patches at some point.
These are the sizes I have for each version - not upx compressed. The link above is compressed because it is for download and my uplink speed is not that fast.

Just to point out that this lite tclkit still contains the same vfs code that a normal tclkit does. It is only lacking the metakit library. This means that, for instance, you can still load zip-based starkits (there is an example of one for tkchat at [L5 ]).
(and you can still load a copy of the Mk4tcl extension dynamically, at which point Tclkit Lite should revert to doing the same as Tclkit -jcw)
