tcl/tk compiler

[Roger Oberholtzer]

The compiler is a byte-code compiler. Mainly meant for speed. However,
one benefit of the Sun days with Tcl was a JIT compiler. All procs are
compiled when sources (read). So, they are 'fast' when executes. The
binary is platform independent,so you can compile and distribute the
bytecodes. I do not know anyone who does. It does not sort out the
details of all the rest needed to get an app installed.

We make our own packages (on Windows with Inno - an open source Windows
installer that is really great, and on Linux/UNIX with RPMs and our own
install wrapper written in Tk)

The Tcl installer

Be sure to check out

		http://www.tcl.tk

especially

The wrapper/installer is in there somewhere!
