• Attached Filesystem

    From Mr Zhang (Hiring;Invites;OTP;News)@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 1 14:34:36 2023
    I haven't heard of the Attached Filesystem for about 7 years, but I dimly remembered that it might be useful for creating executables, and now I found this description:

    Attached Filesystem Archives: This feature allows the inclusion of a zip archive of a filesystem in libraries or executables. This means that these libraries or executables can carry support data such as script libraries, encodings, message catalogs,
    images, and more. This is a form of packaging technology as it enables bundling multiple resources into a single executable or library.

    Either way, there are no documents available, I can't find them on Google I mean. Any hint?

    Have a look on the wiki for Starkits/Starpacks, or at FreeWrap for Windows.

    Some years ago there was a presentation about the ZIP filesystem going into Tcl 8.7, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abeOYLG3rFg
