I need a small, static, windows binary of only tclsh. I do not need
the full ActiveState Tcl installation.

Does someone have just tclsh I can copy to windows boxes and use
as a standard shell?

Thanks for the suggestion. What I want is the interpreter (tclsh), statically
compiled, that I can copy to windows platforms to run tcl scripts that I
write and that are cross-platform aware.

Does the link above create a tclsh interpreter?

It's possible--likely, even, if I understand Mike
correctly--that that's misleading advice.

As fond as I am of Freewrap, I think Tclkit <URL:

Mike is after (Tclkit also has many capabilities
he doesn't require, but they won't interfere).
Mike, do you need only Tcl, or also the GUI
commands of Tk? If the former, you can go directly
to <URL:
http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/8.4.13/tclkitsh-win32.exe.gz >.
This will give you a single executable file that
launches a Tcl interpreter, as I believe you want.
More generally, see <URL:

Another option is Tclkit:

homepage: http://www.equi4.com/tclkit.html
downloads: http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/downloads.html

There are versions available with and without Tk; the UPX-compiled
versions are especially compact (version 8.5 with Tk weighs in at 1,158
KB; "Tclkitsh" (no Tk) is a mere 623 KB).

Thank you. The tclkit I think will do just exactly what I need.

Thank you. Tclkitsh is what I need.

I'd use tclkit or tclkitsh (depending on whether or not you need to be
able [package require Tk]).

No. It is you who are being misleading. Following
the link and downloading freewrapTCLSH62.zip
provides exactly what the original poster requested.
