Getting started with Starkits on Unix

There's an application by Richard Suchenwirth called TclWorld [1] with a nice demo of drawing a world map and letting you zoom around there and view country/city/flag details. Here's a screenshot (clipped for brevity, with apologies to our friends on the Southern hemisphere):

How to get TclWorld running on Unix

1. download the application from http://mini.net/sdarchive/tclworld.kit (330 Kb)
2. download the appropriate version of Tclkit from http://www.equi4.com/tclkit/
3. uncompress/rename the downloaded file to "tclkit" and do "chmod +x tclkit"
4. launch "tclworld.kit" from the command line with "tclkit tclworld.kit"

That's it, you are looking at TclWorld... an application written in Tcl/Tk and packaged as a Starkit.
