Tried figuring out the Starkits ( thnaks for the tip ) but still could
figure out the stuff ( sorry feel like a ....) even following the example
( parts didnt work )

Anyway inbetween the scribbles I found this on a Japanese site :

prowrap -out myApp.exe myApp.tcl

And it worked , I now have a standalone .exe file that works on another
computer ( with no Tcl/Tk) , althouhg big in size , but hey ik works and
can be used now and I can focus on other things again . Just wonder why
its so difficult to find the simple instructions ?

The TclPro User Guide (in doc directory of the installation) has pretty
detailed info on prowrap.

By default, prowrap uses "bigwish", which I found usually ends up with
bigger .exe file than using "wish". If you don't need the additional stuff
provided by bigwish, use wish should be just fine.

HTH,
Jim
