Version 69 of tclvfs

TclVFS is the extension that exposes the core level Virtual File System (VFS) layer, now part of Tcl/Tk (8.4a5 is required, 8.4.1.1 or newer for best possible operation, using Tcl 8.4.3 or 8.4.4 would be a good idea.). The current version of the tclvfs extension is 1.3.0

See also VFS. The C extension is now very robust and well tested. But, distributed with tclvfs are a large number of virtual filesystem implementations (in pure Tcl). Many of these still need a lot of work (but since it is pure Tcl, lots of people should be able to help).

tclvfs relies on Memchan or some equivalent to 'open' (or 'load' or 'source') any file.

Contributions of binary versions of tclvfs to be placed on sourceforge much appreciated.

Possible VFSs

SEH Robust and well-tested perhaps, but contains a deadly crashing bug when attempting to close a file opened for write. See [L1 ]

Please help develop the tclvfs package further!

Also, can tcl and tclvfs together be used to poke around a starkit?
