[FGS] Re: tclhttpd

[Tyler Mitchell]

I would say, "no", tcl does not need to be distributed - the tclhttpd is a 
standalone run-time executable.  Seems a bit too good to be true n'est 
pas?

Here's more about the process/technology involved:
http://www.equi4.com/starkit.html

"
A Starkit is a wrapping mechanism for delivering an application in a 
self-contained, installation-free, and portable way. The name comes from 
being based on a StandAlone Runtime, called Tclkit.

A Starkit creates the illusion of a "file system in a file" - on the 
outside, it's a single file, yet the application code continues to see a 
complete directory of scripts, extensions, packages, images, and whatever 
other files it needs. Starkits can be multi-platform. And they can be 
written to, due to the underlying Metakit database.
