• Ann: Starkit Builder zqq.kit 5.0b1 for Tcl 9

    From Keith Nash@user22135@newsgrouper.org.invalid to comp.lang.tcl on Tue Aug 11 21:58:56 2026
    From Newsgroup: comp.lang.tcl


    The zqq.kit starkit has the most important commands of sdx.kit,
    (wrap, unwrap, qwrap, help) and can be used in the same way.
    It creates starkits that use the zipfs facilities of Tcl 9
    rather than the metakit/vlerq database used by Tcl 8 starkits.

    zqq.kit obsoletes the earlier zkk.kit, and has the following
    improvements:

    * When zqq.kit creates a starkit file, it installs the starkit
    package in the file. Thus the starkit file brings its own
    copy of the starkit package and can be executed by any
    unmodified Tcl/Tk 9 installation or basekit.
    * Bugfixes for Windows and macOS.
    * A better GUI for use in Windows, when zqq.kit is not launched
    from a console.

    With thanks to Jeff Smith who contributed the revisions for
    installing the starkit package in starkit files.
