Tclkit Lite [http://www.equi4.com/tclkit/tclkitlite.html] is a light-weight (as of Oct 2005) variant of [TclKit] The limits and differences are: * it only reads/runs/mounts [Metakit] or [zip]-based [starkit]s & [starpack]s, not create or modify them * it does not include [Mk4tcl], so all dependencies on [C++] are gone * does not include [Incr-Tcl] * it adds a small [TEA]3-based new C-only extension (called "vqtcl") * performance is "sort of" like Tclkit, but varies because it's a different code base * it does not use the "mk4vfs" [VFS] driver, but a simpler one called "mkclvfs" (MK Compat Lite) * Tclkit Lite is smaller than Tclkit (some 250 Kb less on Linux, no more Mk4tcl nor C++ runtime) * [SDX] has been extended to support creating starkits when used with Tclkit Lite * On Windows, the lite binaries can be [AuthentiCode] signed The tclkit build project (kitgen [http://github.com/patthoyts/kitgen]) produces 'lite' tclkits (tclkit-cli, tclkit-dyn and tclkit-gui) along with the original style 'heavy' tclkits (tclkitsh and tclkit).
