"According to Veronica Loell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: : I would like to have tclSqlite :http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/tclsqlite.html included in Tclkit. It :would be very interesting if anyone more knowledgable than me could give :me an idea if this is even feasible? But just think about it, you can :commandline email in tclkit-sh, imagine what adding a powerful :sql-engine at the commandline as well would do for it..." "While the idea is _feasible_, it isn't likely. The developers of Tclkit (like those developing Tcl itself) have indicated that they recommend people create usable extension distributions for things like this. So in the case of tclSqlite for instance, one might work within the Sqlite community to create a starkit that contained sqlite compiled for a variety of platforms, and organized so that all a tclkit user had to do was download the starkit and source it in to get have the power of sqlite - but the quickness and functionality of tclkit." "To load every extension that anyone has ever requested (for every platform that people have need of) into a single starkit would result in a file too large to really be practical" i spent hours configuring my application to work with starkit (it relies heavily on sqlite) and the last thing i went to do is load and it wouldnt work. then of course way to late i ran across this article. a lesson I will soon forget I am sure. the good news is I already have it done using freewrap. I see the leader of sqlite mentioned as having made significant contributions for freewrap if am not mistaken. I wish I had spent the time learning more about freewrap. I will go back and check it out. later marvin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
