Swisskit
========

[Swisskit][1] is an elaborate build of [Tclkit Lite][2] for Mac OS X.
It was built with the new [Kitgen][3] configuration system.

Swisskit ...

  * ... is based on the latest Tcl/Tk 8.5a6 sources from CVS
  * ... is a universal threaded build for any PowerPC or Intel 10.4-based Mac
  * ... can bring up an X11-based Tk if the "DISPLAY" environment var is set
  * ... will use the Tk Aqua shared library instead if "DISPLAY" is not set
  * ... includes all available encodings, message catalogs, and timezone files
  * ... has Tile and the Thread + Ttrace packages, as well as TclVFS and Vlerq

In other words: Swisskit can be the Swiss Army Knife for Tcl/Tk on the Mac.

Swisskit is a tribute to Daniel Steffen, who has contiously improved the Tcl/Tk
system for Macintosh, and who has made it possible to load either the Aqua or
the X11 version of Tk from the same single-file standalone executable.
